[Solved] Perl Modules (Especially Dbd/dbi) On Johnny?

[cfbfan]

I've read that Johnny is being rebuilt, so I can understand why this problem is occuring, but it means a major feature of my web site can't be used.

 

In a Perl/CGI program using MySQL, upon trying to access the DB, I'm seeing

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .)

 

Is it elsewhere or just not yet installed?

Try installing it through cpanel

Let us know if you still need help.

I tried to install DBD::mysql

The installation failed:

Mirror Check passed for mirrors4.kernel.org (/index.html)

Checking C compiler....Could not locate an executable "gcc" binary....Done

** Unrecoverable Error **

The C compiler is not functional and auto repair failed.

Perl module installs require a working C compiler.

Please repair the C compiler and try again.

I changed some settings. Try installing it now.

This support request is being escalated to our root admin.

The installation (although some warnings appeared) was successful.

However, the module still could not be located.

 

To enable it to be found, I added

use lib '/home/cfphq/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DBD';

to the beginning of the program. It's neither elegant nor portable, but (AFAIK) the program is working now.

Glad to hear it's working.
