in reply to MakeMaker custom directory

phiharbour, see Motivation behind PERL5LIB and PERLLIB?

You may find that you get better results with PERL5LIB than with PERLLIB

In Re: Motivation behind PERL5LIB and PERLLIB? you will see salva says: "PERLLIB is obsolete, use PERL5LIB"

Also: Having seen your reply in cb, doing PERL5LIB=/my path/ isn't enough.

Although you can see it with echo $PERL5LIB you have to export it with export PERL5LIB to make it an environment variable.

    Hi there, thanks for the reply. I've exported the environment variable but with no success, still getting the same error; DBI version 1.51 required--this is only version 1.32 at Makefile.PL line 19. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 19. Any other suggestions? Regards Phil Harbour
