Thanks duckyd

Compiler: cc='gcc', ccflags ='-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O', cppflags='-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing' ccversion='', gccversion='2.95.2 19991024 (release)', gccosandvers='solaris2.6' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=4321 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=16 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=8, prototype=define

which bit tells me which compiler was used?

    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,

      Thanks Rob I can only find this in the Writemakefile.pl document :-( 
      
WriteMakefile(
    dbd_edit_mm_attribs(\%opts, {
    create_pp_tests => 1,
    })
);

      Do you mean remove this?

        Tried to instal another module and get this error as well: cc1: Invalid option `-fno-strict-aliasing' What could cause this?

        I think %opts, in the Makefile.PL, might simply need that amended CCFLAGS entry inserted (anywhere) into it so it looks like this: 
        my %opts = (
    CCFLAGS => '-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_S
+OURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64',
    NAME   => 'DBI',
    AUTHOR => 'Tim Bunce (dbi-users@perl.org)',
    VERSION_FROM  => 'DBI.pm',
    ABSTRACT_FROM => 'DBI.pm',
    PREREQ_PM => { "Test::Simple" => 0.40, Storable => 1, "File::Spec"
+ => 1 },
    EXE_FILES => [ "dbiproxy$ext_pl", "dbiprof$ext_pl" ],
    DIR => [ ],
    dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => "$::opt_g" },
    clean => { FILES=> "\$(DISTVNAME) Perl.xsi t/zv*_*.t"
            ." dbiproxy$ext_pl dbiprof$ext_pl dbitrace.log dbi.prof nd
+test.prt" },
    dist  => {
    DIST_DEFAULT=> 'clean distcheck disttest tardist',
    PREOP => '$(MAKE) -f Makefile.old distdir',
    COMPRESS => 'gzip -v9', SUFFIX => 'gz',
    },
);

        [download]
        If that doesn't help try getting a version of gcc that's at least recent enough to either understand or ignore '-fno-strict-aliasing'.

        Cheers,
        Rob
