[Dbi-interbase-devel] Installation problems on Win32

[Paul L. T. <p.t...@cl...>]

Hi,

I've been struggling trying to install DBD::InterBase 0.28.4 on Windows 2000
running ActiveState 5.6.0.613.

Started by installing DBI using ActiveState's ppm which downloads and
installs DBI from the ActiveState web site. Then found the version of
DBD::InterBase did not contain a PPD file when I tried to install from
ActiveState. So I downloaded the zipped version of DBD::InterBase. Then I
downloaded the Borland 5.5 C++ compiler from the Borland site. I followed
the instructions in the readme but failed. I then shopped around for a VC++
6.0 compiler and tried again. Failed again. Perl is installed properly and
runs my CGI scripts. The Firebird 0.9 server runs my local computer. Any
ideas? I read that Peter Wilkinson had created a PPD distro or file. The
result of the compile attempts are as follows:
