All, I have been trying to get DBD::mysql installed and have not been able to get the tests to pass even after trying several workarounds noted in the documentation and other posts...Here is my output...can anyone see something I am obviously doing wrong?

*bossert@$#$#$#$#$# DBD-mysql-4.026 $ perl Makefile.PL --testuser=test
+ --testpassword=password --libs="-L/tmp/mysql-static -lmysqlclient" -
+-cflags -I/usr/include/mysql<br>
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:<br>

  cflags        (User's choice) = -I/usr/include/mysql<br>
  embedded      (mysql_config ) = <br>
  libs          (User's choice) = -L/tmp/mysql-static -lmysqlclient<br
+>
  mysql_config  (guessed      ) = mysql_config<br>
  nocatchstderr (default      ) = 0<br>
  nofoundrows   (default      ) = 0<br>
  ssl           (guessed      ) = 0<br>
  testdb        (default      ) = test<br>
  testhost      (default      ) = <br>
  testpassword  (User's choice) = password<br>
  testport      (default      ) = <br>
  testsocket    (default      ) = <br>
  testuser      (User's choice) = test<br>

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'.<br>
