Hi Folks,

I've been struggling for some time trying to use the CPAN module to
install modules with C components.  For example, trying to get DBI
installed yields this:

/usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Perl/g" ./Driver.xst > Perl.xsi
/usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap  Perl.xs >
Perl.xsc && mv Perl.xsc Perl.c
cc -c   -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp
-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -Os   -DVERSION=\"1.43\"
-DXS_VERSION=\"1.43\"  
"-I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE"  -Wall
-Wno-comment Perl.c
/usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap  DBI.xs >
DBI.xsc && mv DBI.xsc DBI.c
cc -c   -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp

-Wno-comment DBI.c
Running Mkbootstrap for DBI ()
chmod 644 DBI.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bundle
LD_RUN_PATH="" env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc  -bundle -undefined
dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib DBI.o  -o blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bundle
ld: can't locate file for: -lbundle1.o
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bundle] Error 1
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Note that I'm attempting to utilize the fix mentioned here:

The OS is 10.3.5 with the stock Perl 5.8.1 installation.

TIA,
David
