I know this isn't the perl list but I'm thinking that some one out there
has installed MySQL 4 on Red Hat 8. I couldn't upgrade from MySQL 3. I
tried to uninstall MySQL 3 but I had too many dependency errors. I keep
trying to install the necessary packages but I have a problem with the
DBD::mysql module with perl. This is preventing me from installing the
MySQL-MAX and the MySQL-SHARED rpms from the MySQL website. Here's what I
keep getting:
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib/mysql:/usr/lib:/lib" /usr/bin/perl myld gcc -shared
-L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so
-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files
-lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error
message seems to indicate that you don't have a libz.a, libgz.a,
libz.so or libgz.so. This is typically resolved by:
1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list
by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL".
2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel
3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list

For further hints, see INSTALL.html, section Linker flags.
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
James
