Title: Perl-DBI Install
Post by: Steve Davis on May 06, 2002, 03:43:56 AM

I searched the forum's for answer, and am some what confused about installing Perl DBI and Perl DBD MySQL which I need on my 4.1.2 e-smith server.

Another post mentioned I should install perl DBI  1.14-8

http://www.e-smith.org/bboard//read.php?v=t&f=3&i=2947&t=2924

but when I do this, the files don't extract, at all?

I did this

rpm -ihv perl-DBI-4.14-18.src.rpm

Seems to install fine from the output, but no DBI files could be found.

Look for a perl-DBI-4.14-18.noarch.rpm or perl-DBI-4.14-18.ix86.rpm

I thought so, but found no alternatives.

Can you give me some guidance here, a search did not reveal the code?

Are you sure that Perl-DBI is at version 4 (not 1)? If you go to rpmfind.net and look for perl-DBI, the latest version is perl-DBI-1.21-2.1386.rpm

I haven't installed/used this, so can't help you beyond this.
