I thought I would get around the whole thing by just installing the RPM
instead of compiling. So I downloaded MySQL-devel-4.1.14-0.i386.rpm and
installed it. Then I went to install the DBD-mysql module and got this
error during the compile:
/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,
or a libz.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
So I figured out how to run mysql_config --libs and get that value, then
put it on the perl Makefile.PL line without the -lz:
perl Makefile.PL --libs="-L/usr/lib/mysql [the -lz was right here]
-lmysqlclient -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc
-lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv"
Then I was able to compile without error. So I installed the driver.
But when I try to use it to connect to mysql I get this error:
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for
module DBD::mysql:

Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at /home/wms/test1.pl line 8
Any help appriciated. I apologize for this message being formatted
badly, there's no obvious break between my comments and my pasted error
messages. I hate Outlook with a passion but am forced to use it.
