I tried to install DBD::mysql and got an error message 'sh: make: command not found

Maybe I didn't understand your previous repsonse for building apps. What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Perl modules often needs others Perl modules, and sometimes it's hard to install, but in your situation you need make package, it's a development package.. you can get it at slackware site here
and any other development package such as gcc... I did not include any development packages for space issues and people who are going to compile packages know what they are doing and usual making packages at their own..
I'll check IGSuite current version for their dependencies..

thanks for the answer. Is that why I got the error message?

No! The error message was because you didn't have make package...
I just install IGSuite it's quite easy, and takes 2 minutes...
just create database and user privileges for instance.
type mysql
mysql create database igsuite;
mysql grant all on igsuite.* to user@localhost identified by 'password';
exit
and then cd to igsuite package and type
perl install.pl and answer the questions.

WOW! I wish I had those linux skills. I haven't been at linux that long but am trying to come up to speed. I really like it.

thanks again
