The above is your first problem. MySQL comes with a program that helps make determine settings for where to find mysql specific files, such as headers and libs, etc. That program needs to be installed and in your path, usually /usr/bin/mysql_config. The program is supplied in either the MySQL client package or the MySQL-devel package, I am not sure which. I have the following two packages installed: mysql-3.23.58-1.9 mysql-devel-3.23.58-1.9 The second is almost for sure required to build the Perl module, the first may be. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa | grep -i 'perl' | grep -i > 'mysql' > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q --provides > perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3 > package perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3 is not installed > Right the above indicates you do not have the Perl MySQL module rpm installed. This is really an either/or strategy, you can install either the RPM or from CPAN. I suspect that installing the above will require either the mysql-devel or mysql client rpms previously mentioned. http://danconia.org -- Boycott the Sugar Bowl!
