[cobalt-users] Ikon Board 3.10 - DBI

[Douglas Spooner <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have a RaQ3i and decided today to install ikon board 3.10 ( www.ikonboard.com ) on my RaQ. After successfulling uploading, chmodding etc, I attmped to run its installer.cgi from the web, this guides your through seting up the board which is easy enough. I have opted for the DBI version of the board in the setup rather than the MySQL version as my raq 3 does not have this installed.

But I seem to get this error when it attemps to generate the the forum

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./ ./Sources ./install_modules /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at (eval 7) line 3. 
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (site35), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 10:34:59 GMT Content-Type: text/html 

I know this is something to do with a module but I am not sure how to re-install it I have looked on their support boards and they suggest doing this

ppm install DB_file

I also tried this

perl -MCPAN -e "install DBI::DBI"

It then brings up a config screen that says are you ready for manual config? Y/N? At this point I hit ctr+c as I dont know what I'm doing and dont want to damage anything.

Found a few articles on the cobalt list but they are rather breif on what exactly to do.

Any pointers would be great
