[Fink-beginners] DBI, DBD install problem

[Jason Miller]

I'm having a tough time installing the perl DBI and DBD modules.  DBi  
went fine using a tarball I grabbed from the web, somewhere official.   
The tarball for DBD didn't work, so I turned to fink.  When I tried to  
install dbd-mysql, fink told me it couldn't resolve a dependancy (for  
mysql-dev), but a little poking around revealed that fink knew of  
mysql12-dev.    Here's how I learned this.

pyrite:/Library/Perl/DBD-mysql-2.9003 millerj$ sudo fink install  
mysql12-dev

pyrite:/Library/Perl/DBD-mysql-2.9003 millerj$ sudo fink install  
dbd-mysql-pm560Information about 1118 packages read in 1 seconds.
WARNING: While resolving dependency "mysql-dev" for package  
"dbd-mysql-pm560-2.1026-2", package "mysql-dev" was not found.
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "mysql-dev" for package  
"dbd-mysql-pm560-2.1026-2" (no matching packages/versions found)
Should mysql12-dev satisfy the dependancy for mysql-dev?  If so, how  
can I point fink in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer.
