in thread Problem with DBD::mysql install

You need to make sure the CPAN installer finds the mysql-config script (or is it a binary). Put /usr/local/mysql/bin (or wherever it lives in your PATH):
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
or, if you use a csh-like shell:
setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

    nope, putting mysql's bin directory where the script you mentioned indeed is, did not solve the problem.

    here is the log of my attempt of installing manually and setting the options. mysqld was running at the time of the attempt...
