Hi Yamini,

Here are my log notes - HTH!

21) Attempting to fire up the server produced IpcMemoryCreate errors.
    FIX: enlarge shared memory avail in the kernel...
    # /etc/conf/bin/idtune SHMMAX 778240
    # /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
22) Installed DBI::DBD in usual manner but perl is too old (5.003).
    Downloading 5.004_04 from www.sco.com/skunkware/uw2/interp/perl/
23) Installed Perl 5.004_04 and reinstalled DBI::DBD
    Error msg when trying to run a dbi script: 
    dynamic linker: /usr/bin/perl: symbol not found: strncasecmp
    FIX: edit /usr/src/perl5/DBD*/Pg.xs, replacing strncasecmp with
    strncmp --- rerun `make' & `make install'.

        !strncmp(statement, "abort",    5) ||
