Hi, I've been trying to install DBD::mysql on SUSE 8.1. I run "perl Makefile.PL" then "make" make gets to "chmod: failed to get attributes of 'blib/arch/aaut/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'" and fails. There is no mysql.so anywhere on my system. I googled and found something on the MYSQL site that said the problem was perl couldn/t locate libmysqlclient.so. I do have this file and I tried all the suggestions MYSQL offered: add location of libmysqlclient.so to path, add path to LD_RUN_PATH, compile perl Makefile.PL -static -config. But install still fails.
I can find some copies of mysql.so on the net but they all seem to be part of packagesvfor older versions of RedHat and I don't want to load old over newer. All the other mysql stuff seems to be ok. Can anyone help? Has anyone installed the DBD::mysql driver on SUSE 8.1? Thanks, Dave Driscoll
