Re: Postgresql Access with Perl and DBD::PG
It sounds like you dont have write permission where ever it wants to create
Makemaker.tmp.
In the directory you're building in, and as root, try:
chown -R me.mygroup *
That will make you the owner of all files in that dir and the ones below it
(-R), and also set
the group to mygroup. Untested, but it's worked for me on other things.

I currently have postgresql 6.3.2-6 on RedHat Linux 5.1 and have
successfully (I think) installed DBI 1.06. I have tried to install DBD-Pg
0.73 (the last version that works with postgresql 6.3) so that I will be
able to use Perl to access a postgresql database but I am having problems.
The DBD-Pg readme states that I should do the install as a normal user who
has db and user create access in postgresql. I have tried this but I get a
error saying that I am unable to open the file "Makemaker.tmp". This
happens when I try to create the make file using the makefile.pl file
provided. Could someone please tell me where this file or directory is
located so that i can adjust the access privileges or explain to me how this
"Makemaker" works? I carried out a similar procedure with DBI and everything
worked fine except that I did it as root. DBD-Pg specifically says not to
do the install as root.Any help would be greatly appreciated and please email me in addition to
posting to the group.Thanks.
