Hi,

I am trying to build and install DBI module. I have built and installed perl Version 5.8.7. The compiler gives the following errors;


"DBI.c", line 3577: Error: Unexpected type name "SV" encountered.
"DBI.c", line 3577: Error: Operand expected instead of "class".
"DBI.c", line 3577: Error: Identifier expected instead of "=".
"DBI.xs", line 3561: Error: Expected an expression.
"DBI.xs", line 3561: Error: Identifier expected instead of ",".

Compiler command line:

/opt/Forte6.2/SUNWspro/bin/CC -c -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.48\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.48\" -KPIC -I/home17/SG/clearcase/perl5/lib/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/CORE -DDBI_NO_THREADS DBI.c

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Manas Kumar Sahu

It appears that there's something missing somewhere. I wonder if=20
/usr/local/include has a header in it that is confusing thing?

You said you built your Perl? So, have you installed any other modules that=
=20
use C code?
For example, Digest::MD5 or ... many others. If not, try to do so; I would=
=20
expect them to fail too, pointing to a defect somewhere in the installation=
=20
of Perl.

If those work but DBI still fails, then it isn't clear what the issue is.=
=20
You're on Solaris in some shape or form - please always include version=20
information - and I've not had problems there with Perl versions dating bac=
k=20
to 5.004 (probably 5.003 even), or DBI versions dating way back to 0.6x or=
=20
earlier (let's see - shall we say 1996). So, on average, I'd expect the=20
problem to be with your Perl. Failing that, with your Sun C compiler -=20
though I've used the 6.2 version without problems...
