Re^2: DBD::Pg on Windows with ActivePerl

Thanks CountZero,

I consider this progres...I reinstalled DBD::Pg from the Trouchelle repository as suggested. I now get a different Windows Error Dialog that specifically mentions that it can't find libintl-8.dll:

perl.exe = Unable to Locate Component

This application has failed to start because libintl-8.dll was not fou
+nd. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Any ideas? I snooped around other message boards and couldn't figure out why this was bein DynaLoader'ed.

Hmm http://trouchelle.com/ppm/DBD-Pg.ppd lists http://trouchelle.com/ppm/scripts/installdll_dbdpg which lists `{ 'lib' => 'libintl3.dll ', 'version' => '0.14.4.1952', 'size' => '103423', 'size_comp' => '52031', },` [download] among others, did this program run when you installed DBD-Pg and did you install these files?

It looks as if you need `libintl-8.dll` and the repository provides `libintl3.dll` which perhaps seems to be an older version. Maybe your versions of Postgresql and the DBD drivers and the DLLs are out of sync? A desperate measure would be to rename `libintl3.dll` to `libintl-8.dll` and hope / pray that the API did not change ... If that doesn't work you will have to hunt the Web for a version of `libintl-8.dll` for your OS. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

Any ideas? You did not install PostgreSQL correctly (or just did not setup path).	[reply]
