Re^3: CPAN install DBI-1.53

You're trying to use gcc to compile DBI, are you sure your perl was compiled with gcc? Note that you need to use perl -V, not perl -v to see what compiler was used to compile perl. For example,

$ perl -V | grep -A1 Compiler
  Compiler:
    cc='cc', ccflags ='-g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-prec
+omp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include',

That's a very old version of gcc that was used to build that Perl (24 Oct 1999). What version of gcc are you using ? (Running 'gcc -v' will tell you.) I'm not sure what's killing the process - the only thing that's not reported as a "warning" is the "invalid option: -fno-strict-aliasing", so maybe that's the culprit. You could get rid of it with the following entry in the WriteMakefile() section of the DBI-1.53 Makefile.PL: `CCFLAGS => '-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE + -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64',` [download] Then run 'make clean', 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test', and 'make install'. Perhaps then, the process will continue to completion for you. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks Rob I can only find this in the Writemakefile.pl document :-( `WriteMakefile( dbd_edit_mm_attribs(\%opts, { create_pp_tests => 1, }) );` [download] Do you mean remove this?	[reply] [d/l]
