I am using the nightly stable build of monetdb5. All outside of perl->monetdb seems to be working just fine. I just can't get perl to talk to the db.

Here's what I did:

- installed from nightly stable source on Fedora 8

- copied the source from http://homepages.cwi.nl/~mk/MonetDB/The-Perl-Library.html into mytest.pl

- tried running: perl /tmp/mytest.pl

but it came back complaining about missing libs in @INC.

So then I added these steps:

- /var/tmp/MonetDB-1213632062/MonetDB-client/clients/src/perl - make install and also ran make instlal in the various subdirs like MonetDB-CLI and others (not sure if this step was necessar)

Then I tried running the script and this time it executed without the @INC errors. So this was progress.

However all I get is this: ------- Start a simple Monet MIL interaction

data sources: dbi:monetdb: --------

and then nothing. It just sits there indefinitely. In playing with the source of the .pl I see that it is the "my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, ..." that execution stops at.

I have merovingian running and the db is started. I also tried with merovigan stopped and just using mserver5 --dbinit="include sql;" but I had the same result.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
