Re: DBD::ODBC install fails at perl Makefile.PL

This might sound strange but have you run out of disk space - especially in /var?

What version of Perl is this?

The next thing to happen is prerequisite checking where it will look for DBI. Have you installed DBI? What version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker are you using? What version of DBD::ODBC are you trying to build?

Have you successfully installed any other modules?

I have not got AIX 6.1 but in 5.1 with Perl 5.6.0, ExtUtils::MakeMaker 5.45, DBD::ODBC 1.28_2 I get further than you.

I'm not sure what else to suggest as it is simply running through the Makefile.PL (Perl) and then the ExtUtils::MakeMaker tasks - it is in Perl and there is nothing special about the DBD::ODBC module. If you built this Perl yourself, did you check it passed all tests before deploying it?	[reply]
