mSQL DBD make test errors - help!!! :)

Folks,
Looking for help - I have tried LOTS of things to try and get this up and
running, but there may be no reason...(i.e. ignore). I am trying to get DBI
and DBD functioning on Solaris 8 with mSQL, perl 5.8.0,. Running make test
I get these errors:

I think the "Illegal character" messages are no big deal (although they
should be 'fixed'?) and can be ignored, but what about the t/40bindparam
test? I have seen references to there being a bug in mSQL, but this is the
newest version (3.4).

Msqld is up and running and the test database is created (I have added a
table, data, etc via msqladmin). Can this error message be ignored??? How
can I test that DBI and DBD are functioning properly (sorry, not a
programmer!) - I did an install anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.
