I try and install DBD-mysql-2.9003 and after "perl Makefile.PL" I get this:


I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (mysql_config) = -I'/usr/include/mysql'
  libs          (mysql_config) = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -l
+crypt -lnsl -lm
  nocatchstderr (default     ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default     ) = 0
  ssl           (guessed     ) = 0
  testdb        (default     ) = test
  testhost      (default     ) =
  testpassword  (default     ) =
  testuser      (default     ) =

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

Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8
+.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97.

So I go to Kid.pm, and line 97 says: 
if (@fullname =

[download]
and line 98 is: 
$self->lsdir($thispth,"^\Qlib$thislib.$so.\E[0-9]+")){

[download]
So I combine them so line 97 now reads: 
if (@fullname = $self->lsdir($thispth,"^\Qlib$thislib.$so.\E[0-9]+")){

[download]
but still doesn't work, I get the same errors, anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks
