Why is DBD giving me an error randomly?

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

I have an application that runs a select statement and seemingly randomly, it internal server errors with one of these to messages both from the command line and the browser:

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_db_rollback

... or ...

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_st_prepare

based on what i saw on google's search results,its quite likely that dbd::mysql had some problems while being installed. try uninstalling the modules you mentioned and installing them again here's a link to the download page : Download then untar/gz it and do: Tar zxvf Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219.tar.gz Cd \Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219 perl Makefile.PL make make install	[reply]
