I am trying to isntall this DBD::Mysql for a client yet I keep getting errors no matter what I do. Im not using the package becuase I didnt install mysql as a package and it will try to install that if I do as a dependancy. Im using DBD-mysql-2.1011 to try and install.

t/50chopblanks......install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: Shared object "libmysqlclient.so.10" not found at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

That seems to be the most prominant error I see.


Thanks.

So you have libmysqlclient.so on the system? If so, force it to look in that specific directory. If you can't do it from the command line (which I think you can), check inside the Makefile.

If you don't have libmysqlclient.so, I think you'll need that. :) It comes with the Mysql Client package, I think.

Yea I forced it and I copied the file to another directory like some helpme file I found on google said to do. No such luck thou :( First time I installed this on one of my other boxes last year I had a hell of a time getting it to work also, seems like a flakey package to me. Ill keep searchin and trying different things.


Thanks
