The problem lies here: while the module has been compiled, the DBI
version is probably not fresh enough. I'd suggest compiling libdbi from
CVS.

Can you tell us the libdbi version you're using? Sadly, there hasn't
been an official libdbi release for quite some time now, so
distributions might carry ancient versions.

The 3.3.0alpha1 tarball is sadly broken. This issue has since been fixed
in git.
