hola!

for the last few days, I've been trying to install the dbd and dbi perl bundle from cpan(by using mcpan)....when I've been trying to install the dbd:mysql bundle, it's shot some pretty wierd errors at me, and refused to install the bundle.

The output from the install script tends to make me believe the error is some kind of makefile error, or an error with make itself, or something similiar, but I'm not 100 percent sure. so, I've included (some of) the script below:

Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql Writing Makefile for Msql-Mysql-modules mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib mkdir blib/arch mkdir blib/arch/auto mkdir blib/arch/auto/Msql-Mysql-modules mkdir blib/lib/auto mkdir blib/lib/auto/Msql-Mysql-modules mkdir blib/man1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux \ -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 -Ilib -MExtUtils::PerlPP \ -e "ppp('dbd/dbimon.in', 'dbimon', 'lib/DBD/mysql/Install/Config.pm')" pod2text mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm >README /bin/sh: pod2text: command not found make: *** [README] Error 127 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Oops, make had returned bad status Running make install Oops, make had returned bad status

First off, I'm wondering what could have caused this. Second, I'm wondering if someone could point me in the correct direction on how to solve it....

thanks alot mike kohout
