Hi

From: David Driscoll [mailto:ddriscoll@triustc.com]

Hi, I've been trying to install DBD::mysql on SUSE 8.1. I run "perl Makefile.PL" then "make" make gets to "chmod: failed to get attributes of 'blib/arch/aaut/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'" and fails. There is no mysql.so anywhere on my system. I googled and found something on the MYSQL site that said the problem was perl couldn/t locate libmysqlclient.so. I do have this file and I tried all the suggestions MYSQL

You can also edit the Makefile.PL and the Makefile to include /usr/lib ....

offered: add location of libmysqlclient.so to path, add path to LD_RUN_PATH, compile perl Makefile.PL -static -config. But install still fails.

I can find some copies of mysql.so on the net but they all seem to be part of packagesvfor older versions of RedHat and I don't want to load old over newer.

Install the mysql-devel.rpm, it helps a lot :-)

All the other mysql stuff seems to be ok.

Can anyone help? Has anyone installed the DBD::mysql driver on SUSE 8.1?

yes, I did ...

Thanks, Dave Driscoll
