Hi All,

I have to send my macbook pro off for repair (suffering form the
usual lack of apple manufacture standards) and am trying to install
the DBI module on a G5 tower in the office. However, am running into
deadends. I Have installed the developer tools amd when I run

# sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'

the terminal is giving me:

Writing Makefile for DBI
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Kind regards,
Mo

Hello,

See if this helps a bit. It worked for me.

Yeah, that link looks good. You can grep your Makefile.PL and compare
your path to the mysql header files to where they exist on your
system. I bet that is the problem, make can't find your mysql header
files.

Usually there is more relevant information regarding the error - not
just the last bit of the Makefile error. Can you post the entire
message?
