Hi,

I am trying to install DBD::mysql. But I am getting following error message.
Could you please help me.

Error Mesage :

D:\DBD-mysql-4.012>perl Makefile.PL

mysql_config.pl, and an associated bat file, has been
successfully created under
   C:\wamp\bin\mysql\MYSQL5~1.36\bin

Unknown option: testdb
Unknown option: testhost
Unknown option: testuser


PLEASE NOTE:

For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the
database user '' can connect to your MySQL server
and has the proper privileges that these tests require such
as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure'
as well as others.

mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to ''@'localhost' identified by 's3kr1t';

You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with:

perl Makefile.pl --testuser=username

Unknown option: testpassword
Unknown option: testsocket
Unknown option: nocatchstderr
Unknown option: ssl
Unknown option: nofoundrows
Unknown option: force-embedded
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (mysql_config) = -I"C:\wamp\bin\mysql\MYSQL5~1.36\include"
  embedded      (mysql_config) =
  libs          (mysql_config) = -LC:\wamp\bin\mysql\MYSQL5~1.36\lib\opt -lmysql
client -lzlib
  mysql_config  (guessed     ) = mysql_config
  nocatchstderr (default     ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default     ) = 0
  ssl           (guessed     ) = 0
  testdb        (default     ) = test
  testhost      (default     ) =
  testpassword  (default     ) =
  testsocket    (default     ) =
  testuser      (guessed     ) =

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

Argument "6.42_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 350, <PI
PE> line 75.

*** You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but
    the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set.

    You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied
    with the compiler before you can use it.

    A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following
    directories under your Visual Studio install directory:
        Visual C++ 6.0:     vc98\bin
        Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin

    Find it, run it, then retry this.

    If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and
    INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check.

Thanks
