Why an old combination like that?
perl-5.8.6 is from November 2004. The most recent stable version is
either 5.8.8 (Jan 2006) or 5.10.0 (Dec 2007).
DBI-1.50 is from back in Dec 2005. Current is DBI-1.607

I'm not surprised at all that you run into trouble with 5.8.6.

Next time, use 'oslevel -r', so we also see the patch level

The way you include images in this post is counter-productive. Most of
us here use ASCII mail clients, and including images of ASCII-terminal
screenshots is kinda useless.

The first, and main problem is the the missing filter for
<command-line>, which has been fixed when gcc-4.2 came out, so using
5.8.8 or 5.10.0 should fix that. If you *have to* use 5.8.6, add that
line to makedepend.SH
