DBD::mysql fail install check

PerlPeer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I finally seemed to manage installation of the DBD::mysql module (previous posts under my name). But, continuing the protocol (as given in OrthoMCL documentation) and testing:

perl -MDBD::mysql -e 1
[download]

I get this error:

Can't find 'boot_DBD__mysql' symbol in /Users/arend/perl5/perlbrew/per
+ls/perl-5.16.2/lib/site_perl/5.16.2/darwin-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysq
+l.bundle
 at -e line 0.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
[download]

I browsed many sites, each coming up with different solutions, but they don't work. It seems the program is directed somewhere in the wrong place?

Sorry, that was very imprecise of me. Most websites regard to similar kind of trouble and start describing solutions from compiling DBD::mysql. After that succeeded (as I did as well, in the end..) there is no further report on this problem. None seems to specify my particular error (the one posted). I should not have mentioned the other websites but have asked: Does anyone have an idea what is wrong here?	[reply]

:) :P :D groan you "apple" people ;) Remember DBD::mysql trouble? well you really have go to deep, like Re: issues with DBD::mysql on mac, dyld: lazy symbol binding failed (was MAC OS 10.6 upgrade breaks DBD:mysql), Getting DBD-mysql to work with Mac OS X Lion, Re: libwww-perl fails, Re^2: Error with DynaLoader.pm and DBD::mysql, Re^2: Fuse and fuse_loop, Re^2: possible to bake LD_LIBRARY_PATH in perl(1)?, Re: DBD-mysql: dyld error ... Its always export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" , use ldd or otool on the .bundle/.dylib/.so to figure out what LD_LIBRARY_PATH you need to add Or link against the 32bit libmysql for 32bit perl, or 64bit mysql for 64bit perl Or export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=no ? export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes ? then recompile Or compile mysql client libraries yourself ( sh configure ... ), not use "macports" or "fink" .. whatever apple-ness binaries you're using, or get newer binaries ... Or uninstall mysql-dev with fink and then install mysql15-dev (or whatever non-fink apple-ness binaries Or compile mysql client libraries yourself using similar ccflags/ldflags/lddlflags as your perl ( or remove some --ppc flag that shouldn't be there ) Or use install_name_tool ... Problems installing DBD::mysql on OS X Snow Leopard, http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/README.OSX/Problems installing DBD::MySQL on OS X...: Apple Support Communities Or a combination of one or more of these, or more basic, like non standard install paths needing INC=/LIBS= ... INSTALL.pod Or even more basic, using the wrong shebang, path to perl, not having permissions to read mysql.bundle.... 98/100 its basic path management, some $PATH some $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH , so try that first	[reply]
