Well I downloaded MySQL, Perl, PHP4 and Apache and installed them on my home PC.

I wanted to install a development version of Links NG that I could use to test modifications etc..

So I started the Apache and MySQL servers and changed the path to perl in install.cgi to C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe and went to http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/install.cgi....and to my amazement...it showed first time...no errors at all.

So, I installed Links NG and everything unarchived successfully and it said to go to setup.cgi next....so I clicked the link and filled in my MySQL info and pressed next....it said "Can't find DBI.pm"....so I downloaded it and tried again and got this error:

A fatal error has occured:

Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at GT/SQL/Driver.pm line 19

...could someone please help me solve this.....thanks!

You didn't install DBI properly. I assume you are using a current version of perl from Activestate? If so, do:

ppm install DBI

from an MS-Dos prompt, and then:

ppm install DBD::mysql

to install the mysql driver.

Cheers,
