Subject: Building DBD-Sybase with a local DBI
Date: Jul 7 2005 5:09PM

I have been trying to build DBD-Sybase-1.05_02 with DBI-1.48. I need to do 
this in a local directory /home/davidb/local for testing purposes. 
Unfortunately, I have found that the build of DBD-Sybase picks up the 
standard DBI-1.32 from /usr/lib, not my local version.

Here are the details. I built DBD-Sybase using:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/davidb/local verbose
and I have added:
 DBI_INCLUDE=/home/davidb/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multito CONFIGHowever, the output from the build includes this line:Using DBI 1.32 installed in/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBIand the Makefile contains these lines:DBI_INST_DIR=/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multiDBI_INSTARCH_DIR=/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBIIf I edit the Makefile by hand to replace these with:DBI_INST_DIR=/home/davidb/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multiDBI_INSTARCH_DIR=/home/davidb/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBIthen it picks up my local version. As you'd expect, this makes a differenceand alters Sybase.c, Sybase.o, Sybase.so and Sybase.xsiHow do I configure DBD-Sybase to pick up the local DBI in /home/davidb/localand not the system version? Do I have to change the Makefile manually?(System is Dell 8450 server, Red Hat Linux 9.3, kernel 2.4.20, Perl 5.8.0)Thanks for your help!David BarnwellDatabase DeveloperWellcome Trust Centre for Human GeneticsUniversity of Oxford
