Re: Re: Can't locate DBD/ODBC.pm in @INC

Some straight questions now

When I download the ODBC from CPAN and I then have to unzip the file, do I have to extract these files to the sam edirectory as my Perl source code?

If I don't then does it matter where I save it (I have a sneaking suspicion that it does)

I have already downloaded the ODBC and it is where it is supposed to be but I still get that error that it can't locate it:

Can't locate DBD/ODBC.pm in @INC

Did you unzip and untar the package, and do the installation procedure outlined in the `INSTALL` file? ( typically `perl Makefile.PL; make; make install`? When you say the file is where it is supposed to be, there must be a ODBC.pm file in the DBD subdirectory of one of the @INC directories. Are you sure that's correct?

What is your OS? you downloaded a zip file? or was it a tar.gz file? For linux, etc. you use `tar -xvzf filename` to open the file. Then you should do this: `perl Makefile.PL make make test make install` [download] in that order. If you are on Windows, I guess use the ppm system. I am not familiar enough with windows perl to help with that. What does this little button do . .`<Click>`; "USER HAS SIGNED OFF FOR THE DAY"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Assuming, then, that you're running Activestate's Perl, have you run `PPM -install DBD::ODBC` and if you have, have you checked Activestate's site for support concerning the problem you're having? Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply] [d/l]
