(Please tell us what version of DBI, PostgreSQL, and DBD::Pg you are using when reporting problems.) It sounds as though the ExtUtils::MakeMaker module cannot write to a directory it needs to. You may have an existing "MakeMaker.tmp" file that is owned by root, or not have rights to write to the current directory. Try running "make clean", then checking the ownership of the files in the current directory, and then running perl Makefile.PL. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200504190718 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCZOl9vJuQZxSWSsgRAuG7AJ9XE2NsOjAPGPdrk9I/BC64+gczpwCg0LS4 XGZ30WPSV4YumH07CduDhH4= =p6i+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
