Hi all,

For the raspberry pi, what OS are you using?  I'm using the debian os
(not the recent one that just came out), and I'm having trouble
installing DBI, starting with:

CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22)
  CPAN.pm: Going to build T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.622.tar.gz
Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site]
  TIMB/DBI-1.622.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install

Is one of the other OS's a better alternative for building perl
modules?  (Or have someone had a similar experience with DBI & have a
solution)?

At least the base install of perl works though, not sure what's up with DBI...

(My intent is to start playing with pi hardware soonish...) :)

Zak

I recently got my Raspberry Pi but have not had time to place with.  Very glad you are trailblazing for us.

Hmm, odd. Can you unzip/untar the file and try that command by hand?
Normally that's a pretty simple process, creating a makefile for the
rest of the process.

I used debian wheezy.

I wrote it up at "Raspberry Pi - will it get our children programming
and if so why not in Perl?" (http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/142) and
"Perl DBD::ODBC on the Raspberry Pi"
(http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/144).

I installed DBI ok via cpanm but running the tests took an hour. Then we
built our ODBC drivers which took almost a day and I installed
DBD::ODBC. There is nothing special about the RP really, it is just
another cheap computer but it really lacks memory and cpanplus and cpan
shell kill it.

I didn't post these links before here as I thought hardware-pm was lower
level than the RP but since you asked.

I'm trying to add a ADC to my RP to replace the arduinos we use for
temperature monitoring - see "monitoring our machine room temperature
with nagios, perl and arduino" (http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/140).

So, sort of sounds like cpan has some setup issue?

Yup, something won't work...  Apparently cpanm might work, but I think
I will stick with downloading the perl module directly and installing
it that way for now... :)

Hi Martin,

++ Very cool, good articles.  I didn't realize the cpan shell issue,
but very cool and thanks for the info.  (I also got boa ( a simple web
server) and a few other debian utilities to just work as well...)

I'm also thinking of doing some home environmental monitoring with the
pi as well...  (Using sqlite as my backend, via dbd-sqlite.)  Won't
start that till the weekend though...

cpan shell and cpanplus need just too much memory. After running them 
for a while the process gets killed (too much memory). That is why I 
changed to cpanminus or building from scratch. Someone (can't remember 
who - perhaps ilmari) suggested setting sqlite in cpan shell but I 
didn't try it.

Having said that I had no problems building a massive amount of C source 
for our ODBC drivers but it took all day to compile.
