uh. finally i found the time to care about this old prob. and finally i found a way getting this child walking (how do you say in english?).

- i removed mysql completely and set it up new. (as described here.) i'm not sure, whether this was needed at all.
- next i manually installed DBI
- next, and maybe most important step, i did not fetch DBD but the whole msql-mysql-modules-1.2219-package. i did it manually also, but did not have any difficulties with makefile, make, make test, make install.

that's it. now it's up and running smoothly. very nice.
thanks guys for your (mental) support.
