intalling DBD-mysql - which of course i need. any which way i try (CPAN, 
rpm, webmin) i get the same error

Using DBI 1.43 (for perl 5.008 on i386-linux-thread-multi) installed in

Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql
Makefile:89: *** missing separator.  Stop.
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install

...where the first two lines are repeated about 50 times.
