I set the INSTALLBASE, LIB and PREFIX, and after that tried to install Bundle::DBD::mysql from CPAN shell. What I noticed is that it is trying to connect to mysql using my username and password. It obviously does not have my password, and so is trying to login using blank password.

I then try to install it manually using: 

perl Makefile.PL --testuser=andy --testpassword=password PREFIX=/home/
+andy

After that it said:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient

After that when I try to "make" it, I get plenty of errors, first few lines of which are:

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

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
