Yeah, that link looks good. You can grep your Makefile.PL and compare your path to the mysql header files to where they exist on your system. I bet that is the problem, make can't find your mysql header files.

Except that mysql header files have nothing to with compiling DBI. You're thinking about DBD::mysql.

Good point. I just assumed that we were talking about mysql here.

I suggest bypassing CPAN and running make manually. Use CPAN as shortcut to get that directory though:

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'       (or just sudo cpan)
cpan> look DBI
DBI-1.59$ perl Makefile.PL
DBI-1.59$ make
DBI-1.59$ exit

When you run the 'make' command you will get some output that should explain what the problem is.

The way described above is the right way to go - it is the logical next step.
