Re: make error

Following up on the libdbi problem:

Has anybody successfully managed the make on a current debian system? I
did a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 to make sure there was no legacy
data, and have tried loading from the libdbi.sourceforge site as well as
from the dapper.ubuntu site and simply cannot get through make. I get
the wrong pointers error even with make dist-clean.

I'm wondering if there is not a way of checking that the correct perl
and other packages are installed and installing if not? I simply can't
get a source install to work.

I'd appreciate any experiences in debian: while I have no programming
experience, I'm not an inexperienced linux user and it is unusual for me
to get as stumped as I currently am.
