I've been having trouble installing DBD::mysql on a fresh install of Panther, even after having patched Config.pm as Edward Moy suggested on this list a couple weeks ago. Specifically, 'make test' spits back the following:
t/mysql............FAILED tests 46-48
Failed 3/68 tests, 95.59% okayAll other tests pass with flying colors. This is with MySQL 4.0.16.
Anyway, so I googled around a bit, and it turns out this problem was mentioned here exactly once before (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05466.html). My question is, is anyone else having the same problem besides the two of us? It seems a little suspicious that there'd be nothing else on the googlable web about DBD::mysql failing these tests, if the problem were universal. Perhaps there's something unique to Juan's configuration and my own that is causing problems with this test?
I'm relatively new to Perl and MySQL, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that DBD::mysql prefers a perl built without multi-threading. Is it worth a try to recompile perl with multi-threading disabled?
To be honest, I don't know if DBD::mysql failing this one test is even worth worrying about, but I'd still appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
thanks,
