I just tried to recompile the modules DBI and DBD::mysql to see the output.

When compiling DBI, the following tests did not pass

t/15array..............FAILED test 18 t/zz_15array_pp........FAILED te
+st make: Fatal error: 

...

Command failed for target `test_dynamic'
  /usr/ccs/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

When compiling DBD::mysql however almost all tests failed

Sorry i didn't provide enough information. I don't really understand these tests.

Are these errors because DBD::mysql requires DBI to be compiled correctly and DBI has an error compiling the 15array section? Or am i way off?
