Hello all-
I realize that this isn't really a FreeTDS question, but I figured that
someone here might have experienced the same problem I'm encountering.
I have a web-hosting account with a provider who does not allow me root
access, so I have to install stuff in non-standard locations. I installed
FreeTDS no problem, I can connect to my remote MS SQL Server using the tsql
utility with no problem whatsoever. But I need to get Perl to talk to
FreeTDS, and Makefile.PL barfs when I pass it LIB and PREFIX parameters:
perl Makefile.PL LIB=/usr/home/myhome/usr/local/lib/site_perl
PREFIX=/usr/home/myhome/usr/local/lib/site_perl
Sybase OpenClient found.
The DBD::Sybase module need access to a Sybase server to run the tests.
To clear an entry please enter 'undef'
Sybase server to use (default: undef): Can't open
LIB=/usr/home/myhome/usr/local/lib/site_perl: No such file or directory at
Makefile.PL line 227.
Can't open PREFIX=/usr/home/myhome/usr/local/lib/site_perl: No such file or
directory at Makefile.PL line 227.
If I ignore this and continue on with the installation, make install fails
because I don't have permissions to write to the standard Perl library
directories.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there some kind of problem
with Makefile.PL???
For grins, I installed FreeTDS and DBD::Sybase on my personal Linux box
(where I do have root access) and it works like a champ. The demo Perl
script runs and everything.
Any help on this issue would be *greatly* appreciated...
Thanks,
Richard
