Trying to install DBI module on SOLARIS. Error Occurred.

wukkks has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to install DBI module on Solaris. The Perl version is 5.8.
+8 compiled with gcc.
I have the gcc installed already. While doing "make test" for DBI modu
+le, I am getting the following error:

Maybe this thread helps. In short, the compiler needs to have been built for your actual OS version (which seems to be Solaris 8), and the compiler version you're using now to build DBI should also match the version that was used to build perl. (P.S. and please edit your post to use `<c>...</c>` tags around the code section (instead of `<pre>...</pre>`), and `<p>...</p>` tags around the regular text paragraphs. Using `<pre>` doesn't auto-wrap long lines, so the layout of the entire page gets messed up...)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
