I am in the process of building a server and am trying to get Perl, mySQL, Apache up and running. The machine is a Sun Sparc (64bit) with everything running in 32bit mode (to my knowledge).

The machine was handed to me with a 'pre-release' (beta?) version pre-installed on it. I downloaded Solaris 10 and installed (upgraded) that. I added a few packages - all with the noddy cc compiler that comes with it. I proceeded to install mysql (using pkgadd), followed rapidly by the attempt to install DBI.pm - which failed as I needed gcc in Configure.pm. After some discussion on CB, I decided to install a new copy of perl, using gcc.

So, I got gcc and used it to install a 2nd copy of Perl (so now there are two on the box 5.8.4 and 5.8.7). DBI.pm has installed (hurrah!), but DBD::mysql will not. I re-installed mysql (pkgrm, pkgadd) to make sure I had 32-bit versions of both and that both were installed using same compiler (I'm assuming that pkgadd will use gcc). I have read some notes that perl and mysql must be installed with the same compiler for DBD::mysql to work, so if anyone knows if I have missed anything, or a really good way to make sure...

I appreciate all the efforts by valiant monks in CB to help me, but I am still stuck.

Below is the output of 'make': 

Removing previously used /.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-3.0002

  CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CA/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-3.0002.tar.gz

I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/mysql/include -xO3
+ -mt -D_FORTEC_ -xarch=v8 -xc99=none
  embedded      (mysql_config) =
  libs          (mysql_config) = -xarch=v8 -L/usr/local/mysql/mysql/li
+b -lmysqlclient -lz -lposix4 -lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lmtmal
+loc
  mysql_config  (guessed     ) = mysql_config
  nocatchstderr (default     ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default     ) = 0
  ssl           (guessed     ) = 0
  testdb        (default     ) = test
  testhost      (default     ) =
  testpassword  (default     ) =
  testsocket    (default     ) =
  testuser      (default     ) =

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

Checking if your kit is complete...
