thanks. I tried each step on the mysql page... no luck.

When I install DBD using YUM as:

yum install perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64

it installs without issue. However, this doesn't solve the original issue.

When I try to rebuild DBD-mysql manually by downloading it (http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm) and using:

perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-I/usr/include/mysql --libs="-L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib64 -lssl -lcrypto"

and do a make, it complains:

Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 454.
Can't find mysql_config. Use --mysql_config option to specify where mysql_config is located

Alas, with the standard install of mysql-server, mysql-client and mysql-shared, there is NO mysql_config file on my system, hence no way to specify a location for it.

Presuming the build worked, when trying to make, it fails with:

dbdimp.h:22:49: error: mysql.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:23:45: error: mysqld_error.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:25:49: error: errmsg.h: No such file or directory
In file included from dbdimp.c:20:
dbdimp.h:144: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before âMYSQLâ
dbdimp.h:237: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before âMYSQL_RESâ

and lots of other gibberish.

I'm running out of options. I've re-installed mysql and even re-installed perl. All other isues with this module seem easily resolved -- just not mine. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.
