Re^6: Installing DBD::Pg on Windows XP Pro 32b

Forgive me for being such an amateur, where do I type that?

From a fresh Windows Command Prompt (after clearing the cpan directory), these are the steps I take:

1) Run cmd from Start->Run
2) type "path %path%;C:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib" (or whatever
+ your path is) and hit enter
3) type "cpan" and hit enter
4) type "install DBD::Pg" and hit enter (it'll fetch the files from CP
+AN)
5) type "C:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_config.exe" (wherever 
+the pg_config.exe is located) and it enter
[download]

Still get the "No libpq libraries were detected!" message :(

I don't get any new window popup. This is all in the Windows command line. The output is the same as the above post: ...

Also from the command line here, the system is giving me popups saying which dependent dll can't be found. Maybe Strawberry turns them off? There are posts on PM that shows how to them off. Maybe the reverse can be achieved.	[reply]

well i added it to the path. You can modify environment variables for the command-line's session: path = %path%;c:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I even set up a new directory: c:\Progs, which points to Program Files and same problem.	[reply]
