Re: Installing DBD problems

Disclaimer: I install everything from RPMs or CPAN these days, and I don't deal with mysql, so the command line arguments don't mean anything to me

You've got a double hyphen before cflags, and a single hyphen before libs. Is this deliberate, a typo, or an error?

Do you want the -libs string appended to the value for cflags, or is it a separate argument to Makefile.PL? If the former, then you need to stop the space being used as a word separator: either escape it, or wrap the entire value of cflags in quotes

Just to Say that it is now fixed! If anyone is having problems installing mysql drivers on Suse, use Msql-Mysql module instead of the DBDmysdql module. Its quite tricky getting DBD::mysql to install succesfully on Suse and to recognise. Install the Msql-Mysql module by performing a 'make install && make test'. Thanks to all who helped. costas	[reply]
