Short Description
Perl DBI Module fails to install correctly from RPM
Long Description
I installed version 7.1.2 from RPMs from your FTP site specifically with the following
files (not necessarily in this order):
postgresql-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-docs-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-libs-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-perl-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-server-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm
After copying the Pg.pm file to the appropriate DBD subdirectory (which it wasn't in
with the rest of the drivers) which I assumed was the problem I tried to run a perl
script which is trying to connect. This script worked on Red Hat 6.2 just fine, but
when I tried to bring it to 7.1 and connect, I got the following (spelling errors and
typos are not mine):
DBD::Pg initialisation failed: Can't locate object method "driver" via package
"DBD::Pg" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 511.
Perhaps the capitalisation of DBD 'Pg' isn't right. at perlfile.pl line 141.
The line it is complaining about it a straight copy of the test.pl file contained with
the module. And yes, the database does exist, I double checked.
I included the snippet of perl to which the above error belongs.
Sample Code
use DBI;
use Cwd;
$dir = cwd();
$connect_string = "dbi:Pg:dbname=foo";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($connect_string, '', '', {AutoCOmmit => 1})
or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
