Dear Sirs,

I would like to make you a question regarding Perl Module installation that I
am trying to perform.

I have a Sun Solaris 8 (SPARC) system and i have installed Perl in
/opt/webmail/atmail/perl directory The output of the perl -V command is:

root@athfsrv02 566>/opt/webmail/atmail/perl/bin/perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0) configuration: Platform: osname=solaris, osvers=2.8, archname=sun4-solaris uname='sunos athfsrv02 5.8 generic_108528-21 sun4u sparc sunw,ultraax-i2 ' config_args='' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef

The output of the mysql_config (which is installed in the
/opt/webmail/atmail/mysql) is:

The actions / commands that I have performed to install the DBD-mysql-2.1028
perl module are: root@athfsrv02 592>/opt/webmail/atmail/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL
--libs="-L/opt/webmail/atmail/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lposix4 -lgen
-lsocket -lnsl -lm" --cflags=-I/opt/webmail/atmail/mysql/include/mysql
--testdb=mysql --testuser=root --testpassword=forth123 --testhost=127.0.0.1 I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (Users choice) = -I/opt/webmail/atmail/mysql/include/mysql libs (Users choice) = -L/opt/webmail/atmail/mysql/lib/mysql
-lmysqlclient -lz -lposix4 -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm nocatchstderr (default ) = 0 ssl (guessed ) = 0 testdb (Users choice) = mysql testhost (Users choice) = 127.0.0.1 testpassword (Users choice) = forth123 testuser (Users choice) = root

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Using DBI 1.38 installed in
/opt/webmail/atmail/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql root@athfsrv02 593>

(NOTE: As you can see the DBI Module is already installed)

The problem that I have is in the make command. the output of the make command is:

Any ideas about how to troubleshoot my problem?

Thank you in advance.
