Hi ,

Need some help. I am getting following error while installing module
BerkeleyDB.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PPM interactive shell (2.2.0) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install BerkeleyDB
Install package 'BerkeleyDB?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'BerkeleyDB'...
Error installing package 'BerkeleyDB': Read a PPD for 'BerkeleyDB', but
it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding perl setup for me.
Perl version - This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
OS - Windows XP

Just to give you brief idea was why I need this package. I have
installed MLDBM package, which in warnings section recos use of
Berkeley DB or GDBM and avoid default ones.


Thanks in advance.
Sujit

Hi,

My mistake, as windows platform perl programmer perhaps we do not have
privilege to use this package BerkeleyDB. Check this out. This package
is not available on MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.

ppm> describe BerkeleyDB
====================
Name: BerkeleyDB
Version: 0.20
Author: Paul Marquess ( XXXX@XXXXX.COM )
Title: BerkeleyDB
Abstract: Perl extension for Berkeley DB version 2, 3 or 4
Location: ActiveState PPM2 Repository
Available Platforms:
1. IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi
2. PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi
3. sun4-solaris-thread-multi
====================


However currently I have DB_File installed on my PC. I am using it in
fashion
use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable)

And things are working fine for me so far so good. Surprisingly if you
look as describe for DB_File it says (access to Berkeley DB version
1.x), and how it is working in fine if I do not have Berkeley DB
installed on my perl installation?

If anyone can throw some light on this that would be great.

Describe for DB_File
ppm> describe DB_File
====================
Name: DB_File
Version: 1.806
Author: Paul Marquess ( XXXX@XXXXX.COM )
Title: DB_File
Abstract: Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x
Location: ActiveState PPM2 Repository
Available Platforms:
1. i686-linux-thread-multi
2. IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi
3. MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
4. sun4-solaris-thread-multi
====================


Thanks
Sujit

2. PPM sybperl not intended for MS2-x86-multi-thread 

Can somebody pls shed some light on this rubbish Perl module business,
It has been driving me insane and i have now spent countless hours
trying to get it to work without any joy whatsoever.

I am using Perl 5.6.1.638 build and I am having problems installing
the samn sybperl module. I have tried teh version in CPAn and it does
not work, I get the error stating that sys/types.h file or dir cannot
be found.

I then read somewhere that someobdy had this problem and got around it
using activeperl ppm v2, which is the one downloaded and trie dto use
and i am getting the error described below. Even when i try the manual
download from the pmm v2 on the activeperl site directory i still get
the same error!!!!

What am i doing wrong???????

Thanks, Sukhy
