Yep, that did the trick. Thanks. So, just to clarify, under FreeBSD, if I hadn't already had MySQL built for other purposes, I would have needed to download and build MySQL before installing SlimServer 6.5, where on other platforms, there are prebuilt mysqld binaries already in place?
If that's the case, mentioning that in the FreeBSD section of the Installation.txt file would be helpful, because there's no mention of this MySQL server dependency there right now. To read that, you'd think all you have to do is run the build script, maybe install the MySQL client libs, and all is peachy. Happy to file an enhancement bug to fix that doc if you'd like, and maybe even come up with some suggested text, if I have the time and can clean up (and test and repeat) what I did to get DBD::MySQL to build. Also would be curious as to the reasons surrounding that decision. I'm assuming it had something to do with the time/resources required to support the binary builds under FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris, vs actual numbers of users of SlimServer under those OSes? One of the things I really liked about 6.3.x was that it was a brainless install under FreeBSD. The build script took care of grabbing and installing everything necessary, it was all nicely segregated from the rest of the system binaries, and that was, well, nice and clean.
