in reply to Installing DBD::Pg on Windows XP Pro 32b

install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load 'C:/Program Files/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.dll' for module DBD::Pg: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Program Files/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 201.
at (eval 8) line 3

The Pg.dll mentioned in the error message can't load because it needs another dll (probably the PostgreSQL dll), and it can't find that dll.
The solution could be as simple as adding the location of that dll to the path.

Often, such error messages are accompanied by a pop-up that tells you the name of the dll that can't be found. Did you get such a pop-up box ?

Cheers,
Rob

    I didn't get any pop-up during the install. I used ActiveState's PPM to install it, and it said it completed successful.

    The error was produced when I ran my cgi script, calling DBI->connect()

    In ~\site\lib\auto\DBD\Pg there is:
    .packlist
Pg.bs
Pg.dll
Pg.exp
Pg.lib
Pg.pdb

    [download]
    I've added the following libraries to the post-following directories:
    comerr32.dll
gssapi32.dll
k5sprt32.dll
krb5_32.dll
libeay32.dll
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll
libpq.dll
ssleay32.dll

    [download]
    Directories:
    c:\Windows
c:\Windows\System32
c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin
c:\Program Files\Perl\site\lib\auto\DBD\Pg

    [download]


    I tried looking into DynaLoader, but didn't traverse it that well -- hoping someone else already had this problem (and a solution).
