DBD::Firebird Install Problem #34

Closed mariuz closed 12 years ago

mariuz commented 12 years ago

Your email address was the first listed in the README file downloaded using CPAN.

I've been successfully using DBD::Interbase with various Firebird DBMS installs for the last five years, and wanted to use the latest DBD::Firebird for some of the bug fixes and new features.

The CPAN install failed and I attempted a manual make. This was my result:

root@tek2:~/.cpan/build/DBD-Firebird-1.00-s5CVME# perl Makefile.PL Possible unintended interpolation of @fid in string at inc/FirebirdMaker.pm line 211.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You, Jim Hapenney

Using: Debian 4.0 Perl 5.8.8 Firebird 2.5

stefansbv commented 12 years ago

This looks like a Perl version problem. I see the same error with 5.8.9, but not with 5.10.1, even if the README states that the minimum version is 5.8.2.

mariuz commented 12 years ago

Ok we can upgrade the requirements to 5.10.1 the stable version in debian stable

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/perl

JimHapenney commented 12 years ago

Many thanks guys. Looks like this is the case, i.e. the upgrade was successful on a dedicated test machine running Debian 6 and Perl 5.10.1. I cannot upgrade my live server because it's a VM node at TekTonic.net, and Perl 5.10x doesn't seem to play nice with Debian 4, and the folks at Tektonic tell me that I need to configure a whole new server for Debian 6, which makes since. When I get around to it, I'll post a followup.

Thanks Again
