Hi, I have recently installed mysql-3.23.29a-gamma on Solaris 2.8. This works fine but I am having problems installing the Msql-Mysql Perl module. This makes but bombs out during testing with what seems to be a fairly common error (I've been scouring email lists)... Can't load '../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'for module DBD::mysql: ld.so.1: ../../perl: fatal: relocation error: file ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: symbol uncompress: referenced symbol not found at ../../lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206. It seems that the reference to mysql.so in fact means libmysqlclient.so with the solution being to move this file into the library path for shared libraries. My problem is that libmysqlclient.so has not installed. I've checked carefully with >find / -name 'libmysqlclient*' but all this finds is the static library libmysqlclient.a. I've tried to build the module using the this static library... perl Makeperl.PL --static --config (perl is 5.6 which seems fine) but it still looks for the shared library. I'm probably doing something totally silly but if not can anyone help? Is it possible to download libmysqlclient.so (I've seen it for Linux - as part of an RPM (?) package - but not for Solaris)? Or is there a patch? Any help will be much appreciated.
