Its complaing that the 'gcc' is not installed on the machine. You need to install 'gcc' (gnu c compiler).	[reply]

What kind of linux are you talking about? On Debian or derivative you can simply use: apt-get install libdbi-perl Other Vendors have different packaging-tools so that its often not necessary to use the cpan-command to install perl-modules.	[reply]

You need to find where gcc is installed and put that location in your $PATH before you try to install the module. `[user@box]$ locate gcc /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc [user@box]$ export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH"` [download] Then do the install. You'll want to also add that last command to /etc/bashrc. In the extremely unlikely case that gcc didn't come with your version of Linux, visit http://gcc.gnu.org/ and download it.	[reply] [d/l]
