Your problem is that you are compiling with the default HP c compiler which is not ansi c compliant. If you have ansi C on your system it will be located in /opt. Look there and if it is there do something like export PATH=3D/opt/ansic/bin:$PATH and retry your make. Otherwise, you can send HP some money and get their ansi C compiler or you can get gcc and compile it with that. You can get gcc for HP from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ Hope this helps Allan -----Original Message----- =46rom: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vergara, Michael (TEM) Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 5:46 PM To: Oracle-L (E-mail) Subject: Perl DBI Question I am a newbie at trying to use Perl. I wanted to get the DBI/DBD modules installed on a HP-UX 11i machine, but...well... I'm getting compile errors from the 'make' step, and I'm not a 'c' programmer, and I have no idea what's wrong. Does anybody have either a cookbook on how to install Perl DBI on HP-UX, or an already-compiled distro of same=3F I'm using (ok...pretending to use) Perl v5.8.2 (from HP) on HP-UX 11i. Thanks, Mike P.S.
