DBD::Pg - AIX 5.3 - Anybody any success?

Hi,

As mentioned before, I'm having problems with DBD::Pg on AIX 5.3. I've 
read the README and done plenty of 'googling' but to no avail. Are there 
ANY reports of success?

The set up I'm having trouble with is;

AIX 5.3
apache-2.2.10
perl 5.10.0 (built with threads)
mod_perl-2.0.4
DBI-1.6.07
DBD-Pg-2.11.2 & DBD-Pg-2.11.2
postgresql-8.3.4

I've tried a fresh install of AIX with fresh installs of all the above 
but it just wont play ball. The results of make test is below;

As suggested, I've tried;

prove --blib . -v t/01connect.t

and get basically the same as above.

# prove --blib . -v t/01connect.t

If I go ahead and install, it proceeds without error. However, the 
following perl code core dumps on the execute;

$sth = $dbh->prepare(qq{ SELECT id, mod_nm, mod_pd FROM mod_dets WHERE 
id = ? ORDER BY mod_nm }) or die($sth->errstr);

foreach $nam (@mod_list) {
    $sth->bind_param(1, $nam) or die($sth->errstr);
    $sth->execute or die($sth->errstr);
    ......... other code here not executed

}

I've tried gcc instead of xlc, I've tried just about every combination 
of perl/DBD::Pg/PostgreSQL you can think of. No Joy. Anybody any clues? 
Alternatives to DBD::Pg? Maybe it's AIX5?

Cheers,
