I've installed ActivePerl 5.8.8 on my MacBook Pro with OS X Leopard (in
/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin) and I had everything working as it should.
I've also installed MAMP so that I can get PHP and MySQL running, with some
virtual hosts, and these are also running OK.
I've just started on a project that requires access to a MySQL database and
so I need the DBD::mysql driver. I've used PPM to install this - version
3.002 was offered - and it installed OK. However when I try to get a
database handle I get the following message:
"install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'/Users/ericrobertson/Library/ActivePerl/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle'
for module DBD::mysql:
dlopen(/Users/ericrobertson/Library/ActivePerl/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bund
le, 1): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Users/ericrobertson/Library/ActivePerl/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle:
unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Compilation failed in require at (eval
72)[/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/DBI.pm:744] line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected."
I see that at
aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/CodeDoc/DBD-mysql/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.html there's a
reference to the CPAN distribution of version 2.1004 of that module which in
the Known Problems mentions a somewhat similar error message due to a
problem with the linker flags and libmysqlclient and I wondered if this had
any relevance to my problem since the MAMP mysql will not be in a standard
location.
Can someone please suggest what I need to do to resolve this problem.
Thanks.
