Hi Frans, I've done this using CPAN's automatic installation. Check this out:
%> perl -MCPAN -e'install "DBD::mysql"' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:40:43 GMT DBD::mysql is up to date. %>perl -MCPAN -e'install "DBI"' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:40:43 GMT DBI is up to date. I think there's more to it than just installing because I'm still getting this error message: [Fri Feb 28 14:27:08 2003] checksetup.pl: [Fri Feb 28 14:27:08 2003] checksetup.pl: Can't load module DBI, dynamic loading not available in this perl.

[Fri Feb 28 14:27:08 2003] checksetup.pl: Compilation failed in require at checksetup.pl line 617. Keep in mind that I've already tried compiling perl with dynamic loading and Bugzilla did not recognize the DBD::mysql or DBI modules. So now I'm trying to build perl with static links to these two modules. That's where I'm stuck. Thanks!

(DBI first). If you don't have a database setup yet you need some more documents first, since bugzilla requires one. ----------------------------------- Frans Postma, (050-58) 81 852 ATOS Origin, Unix Support "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you" > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: Chris Bucchere [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Verzonden: vrijdag 28 februari 2003 15:19 > Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Onderwerp: Trying to build a new perl with DBI statically linked to it > > > Hi Folks, > > > > I've encountered an error when configuring some open-source > software (Bugzilla) that has asked me to "build a new perl executable > which either supports dynamic loading or has the DBI module statically > linked into it."
