DB_File is a perl module that is an interface to the Sleepycat Berkeley DB database libraries. Thus the Berkeley DB libs and includes are a prerequsite to DB_File. That error means that your OS is lacking those libs and incs. ("db.h" is the primary include file from Berkeley DB.) So get the Berkeley DB kit, either as a package for your platform or directly from the source, http://sleepycat.com -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
