Hi all,
I am trying to install Squidalyser, which amongst other things needs MySQL
and DBD::mysql. Having spent all morning learning mysteries of CPAN and
install I am now stuck on the DBD module.

I am running on RH7.2 and have installed MySQL server and clients from the
rpm files and it is running fine, howver the files that CPAN complains about
are nowhere to be found on my system (did a slocate -u and then tried
locate). Does this mean I have to unistall from the rpm's and get a source
file? I am asking before doing due to the large (for me) download required.

When I go to CPAN to install the DBD::mysql module I get the following, any
clues appreciated.

Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line
169.
readline() on closed filehandle main::PIPE at Makefile.PL line 171.
Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line

Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use

to set this directory. For details see the INSTALL.html file,
section "C Compiler flags" or type
