I tried to install LinkSQL in my computer which contain apache, paerl, and MySQL, but I faced problems as follwing :
1. It give me this masage:

Links SQL requires two perl modules to be installed prior to setup: DBI and DBD::driver, where driver is the name of your database you plan to use. Example: for MySQL you need DBD::mysql, for MS SQL 7, you need DBD::ODBC.

You can locate these modules at:

http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD/

The exact error message reported was:

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/bline/projects/library C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at c:/apache/htdocs/linksql/install.cgi line 770.

I go their and download DBI-1.13

When I tried to install it according to the readme file I run
perl Makefile.PL

after that I come bake to the dos prompt where I couldn't run the follwed comand which is
make
make test
make install

Dos any one have an idea of this

Thanks

I don´t think you can run make and make install on a win plattform. I think there is some other things you need to do to get this modules installed. Are you running Apache on winxx ?

Check out your perl vendors website, I think.

On my own computer on win2000 I didn´t have to do anything to get those modules to work.

Try downloading the version of perl (FOR WINDOWS) from www.activestate.com.

Dear PaulWilson, I did it already long time ago :)
Dear areh , di you mean only by running perl makefile.pl the module was working, it didn't work with me also I saw that a note that in window you can run "nmake" but I dont know how to run it.

Thanks for all, and waitting for your valuable advice's

I think there is a similar command to make, like nmake. After you had run perl filename, you ran nmake.

But in latest Apache and the Perl distro install, I didn´t need those to work, I think.

Hi,

On windows you need to use ActiveStates ppm tool:

ppm install DBI

and then

ppm install DBD::mysql

Cheers,

Alex
