Hi,
I have been fruitlessly trying for days to install the Mysql::DBD on my Mac OS X Version 10.3.9
I have already installed Mysql, DBI and Data-Showtable.
I have downloaded various versions of the DBD packages, but the gist of my problem is that when I run make test, only 5% of the tests are successful and I get a million errors of this sort: 

/Users/Shared/programmes/Programming/DBD-mysql-3.0002/blib/arch/auto/D
+BD/mysql/mysql.bundle undefined reference to _mysql_stmt_errno expect
+ed to be defined in a dynamic image

+ expected to be defined in a dynamic image

I tried just installing the Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219, but was getting errors already at the Makefile.pl stage.
With the package DBD-mysql-3.0002, the Makefile.PL and the make itself run without any errors after a bit of tweaking here and there.
My Perl is the Mac standard revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 1 RC3 with multilevel threading
If anyone can help, I would be very grateful: I have seen this question in a few different forums but noone seems to have got any answers to this.
