Greetings

I am having a problem installing the perl modules for DBI and DBD via
CPAN. The make is failing thus:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -c
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI/

Can anyone at least identify this as a Solaris problem and not some
other package? It is trying to load libraries from mysql, which I
installed as a 64bit Solaris binary from the mysql website. (I'll try a
cross-post to the mysql forum.)

Thanks

What kind of Solaris is that? The general rule for installing
CPAN modules that need .so glue is "first compile and install
perl".

This may've changed in Solaris 10, I haven't had time to play
with it yet.

You're trying to link 64-bit dbdimp.o with something that is
32-bit. Recompile with appropriate -xarch.

Looks like the linker is failing because it was trying to combine both
32bit and 64bit objects together.  

Only one or the other can be combined.  If the installation is all 32,
then your new compiles must be also.  Ditto for 64.

You can't combine a 64bit library with a 32bit library in the same
executable.
