Hello

I am trying to install DBI and DBD::mysql on an Ubuntu box. I have never had any problems before but on this box, DBI install OK but DBD::mysql is giving me the diagnostics below

Any suggestions? Am I missing something obvious here? The version numbers I am using are all embedded in the error messages, but essentially, I downloaded the latest and greatest from MetaCPAN

# perl Makefile.PL

{comments deleted}

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
