Hi Monks, I have read the install documentation for DBD::mysql and there is nothing about this error ... 
perl Makefile.PL
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
 
  cflags        (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include -mcpu=pent
+iumpro
  libs          (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient 
+-lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_fi
+les -lnss_dns -lresolv
  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'.

Does anyone here know what I am doing wrong?
