Hi, I'm new to database work, and completely new to monetdb. I am attempting to load data into a new monetdb setup for testing, to see if it may make sense to migrate some genotyping datasets from postgres. I'm working in a Virtualbox Debian 64bit VM with MonetDB v11.19.15 (Oct2014-SP4). I've set up everything according to the MonetDB tutorial, and have had no trouble creating test tables and inserting data with simple sql statements. Beyond that though I need to use perl, and I'm having trouble with DBD::monetdb and it's dependencies. The download from cpan either times out or fails when working on dependencies MonetDB::CLI and MonetDB::CLI::MapiPP. If I use the verbose flag it reports: Test Summary Report ------------------- t/02cxn.t (Wstat: 28416 Tests: 15 Failed: 14) Failed tests: 2-15 Non-zero exit status: 111 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 18 tests but ran 15. t/75mil.t (Wstat: 28416 Tests: 15 Failed: 14) Failed tests: 2-15 Non-zero exit status: 111 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 18 tests but ran 15. When I skip these tests with a force install, and try to use the DBD in a loading script, I encounter a similar problem. The perl debugger shows the script getting stuck at my line of code attempting to connect to the database. my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:monetdb:database=genotypes;host=localhost",$username,$password, { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 1 } # turn on exception handling ); If I step into the subroutine calls I can't pinpoint a failure but it is at some point after a call to MonetDB::CLI::MapiPP Am I missing something obvious? Is there something I can do to further address the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, Bryan Ellerbrock
