Mario, This was really pissing me off too. But, I found out how to fix it.
rename /etc/sysconfig/i18n to /etc/sysconfig/i18n.orig (you could probably delete it, but, I don't know what it does)(also supposedly this makes perl-sybase not work) now reboot the machine. clean out you /root/.cpan/build directory then run perl -MCPAN -eshell and try an installation like normal. That worked for me. Just to let you know 'config_mysql' might not be found. so you'll have to edit Makefile.PL and use the full path to config_mysql; it's in the mysql/bin directory of you mysql installation. Hope that works for you. -Jose On Wed, 2004-10-06 at 13:05, mario sanchez wrote: > after 3 full days on redhat 9.0, mysql4.0.21 i have tried to death > intalling DBD-mysql - which of course i need. any which way i try (CPAN, > rpm, webmin) i get the same error > > Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at > /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97. > Multiple copies of Driver.xst found in: > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI > /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI at > Makefile.PL line 295 > Using DBI 1.43 (for perl 5.008 on i386-linux-thread-multi) installed in > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI > Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql > Makefile:89: *** missing separator.
