Hi Guys,
I am having a problem installing DBI which I hope someone can help me with.
I have installed MySql in C:/mysql and Perl in C:/Perl and now need to install DBI/DBD.
I found the information I needed in another posting to get the software, download it and upzip it into C:/DBI and C:/DBD respectively.
To install it, I have followed the following instruction (as per the posting and the readme file).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
install method:
extract the zip file to a specific folder, say "d:\tmp\". then in this folder, run the command "ppm install XXX.ppd", where "XXX" stands for a specific PPM package name. for example, after extract DBI.zip to the folder "d:\tmp\", open a dos box,
Your_Current_Path> cd d:\tmp\
d:\tmp> ppm install DBI.ppd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, it is not working. I am getting the message :-
"Error: no suitable installation target found for pakage DBI."
Can anyone tell be what I am doing wrong?
This is the first time I have ever installed a MySql database so I am VERY new to this.
Thanks
