Thread: Perl Module + postgres 7.0.2

I'm trying to get the perl to work with PgSQL as a client app, however when
I go to compile the Postgres 1.4 module,
It comes up with the error

cc -c -I/usr/local/postgres95/include -fno-strict-aliasing
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2
-DVERSION=\"1.4\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.4\" -fpic -I/usr/local/pgsql/include
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/CORE  Postgres.c
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_PGconnPtr_getline':
Postgres.xs:148: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
Postgres.xs:148: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Postgres.xs:148: for each function it appears in.)
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_QUERYPtr_fetchrow':
Postgres.xs:339: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [Postgres.o] Error 1

I'm running perl 5.005 and postgres 7.0.2....any ideas?
Note...the postgres95 directory does not exist as I'm runing 7.0.2...does
this have any affect on it?

Thanks
Dave

Hi,

I think you have really missed something or you are coming back from far :-)

Postgres 1.4 module is for Postgres95 which is no more supported.

You are also running Perl 5.6.0 and if you have postgres 7.0.2 you must use
now (current time is 09/08/2000) DBI/DBD::Pg to have an efficient Perl
frontend to PostgreSQL.

Take some rhum and go ahead :-)
