SPUG: installing perl mysql DBD - need C compiler?

[William Julien]

As I remember, Redhat has replaced the gcc compilor with the egcs
compilor. So that you can compile the kernel the gcc compilor has
been renamed to kgcc. (go figure). So, when you build the makefile
try...

perl Makefile.PL CC=cc

This may not work, since perl will try to use the compilor options
used when perl was originally built. See 'perl -V'. Sometimes,
you can get away with editing the makefile.
