Hi,

I've installed mysql version 5.1.55 from the source. Installed perl rpm version- perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.2.


I've configured perl modules using cpan command - 
cpan -i Bundle::DBD::mysql

[download]

Installed modules are: 
   DBD::mysql
   DBI
   ExtUtils::MakeMaker
   Perl
   Term::ReadKey
   Test::Simple

[download]

Now I've one script to check if I could connect to mysql. Here is the script which I used to test - 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $db="test";
my $host="localhost";
my $user="test";
my $password="test"; 

#connect to MySQL database
my $dbh = DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:database=$db:host=$host",$user,$pas
+sword) or die "Can't connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";

#disconnect from database
$dbh->disconnect or warn "Disconnection error: $DBI::errstr\n";

exit;

However on execution I get following error - 
perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-lin
+ux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_init

It would be really great if you can guide me to resolve this issue.
