Re: More ODBC Install Issues

What part of the text do you have problems with?

You are using a Perl configured with threading enabled.

This is a statement about your Perl interpreter. As likely you're on Windows, it's not uncommon to have a Perl with threading enabled. There is no further action required on your part.

Please read the warnings in DBI about this.

This is a request that you read the documentation of DBI about threads. The action to take on your part would be to read the documentation of DBI about threads.

You should also be aware that on non-Windows platforms ODBC drivers come in two forms, thread-safe and non-thread-safe drivers and you may need to make sure you are using the right one.

As you're likely on Windows, this part is of little concern to you.

Press return to continue...

This phrase prompts you to press the return key to continue.

I'm not sure which part of these instructions is giving you problems.

Sorry I forgot the rest of the message... here is what happens when you hit enter Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good *** You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set. You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied with the compiler before you can use it. A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following directories under your Visual Studio install directory: Visual C++ 6.0: vc98\bin Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin Find it, run it, then retry this. If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check. # Looks like your test died before it could output anything.	[reply]

You need a C compiler to compile DBD::ODBC. You need to ensure the environment is set up to use the C compiler. You can either do this finding and running vcvars32.bat or better still is if you have installed MS VC then there is usually a start menu item to open a command prompt with the enironment already set up for you. Do this then run perl Makefile.PL again.	[reply]
