in reply to How-to install DBD-mysql

Ok, here's my best guess - it's been quite a while since I've had to do this, but here's what I remember - take it for what it's worth.
1. do 'locate libmysqlclient' - on Red Hat, this lists some files and links under the /usr/lib/mysql directory. Whatever directory gets listed there will be used in the next step. 2. edit /etc/ld.so.conf - add '/usr/lib/mysql' to that file 3. run 'ldconfig'
That should(???) get you past your 2nd error.

If you're on a Red Hat system and install the mysql rpm, the postinstall takes care of all that for you.

Hope this helps.
