Thread: Perl and PostgreSQL 7.1.2 a DBI Connection
I have compiled and installed PostgreSQL 7.1.2 DBD-Pg-1.01.tar.gz DBI-1.20.tar.gz I am running perl, version 5.005_03 ... When I ran ./configure on PostgreSQL 7.1.2 I did so --with-perl but make reported It could not install because Perl libraries were not shared.. I assume it wanted me to have the Perl static installed and linked.. Right or wrong?? SQL... So I installed the above DBD and DBI after the PostgreSQL install.. Question ?? Do I have to do anything else to get Perl and PostgreSQL to work together.. Such as another Perl Library or a Link..?? Bob T
I'm not sure I understand what you want really. If you want to
access postgres with perl through DBI, you don't need to compile postgres
with that option. That is meant for bulding funcions in a procedural
language based on perl. In the last case, you need to recompile perl and
--enable-shared. But I don't think this is the case, so you already got what
you need.
Hope it helps
