Hi,

Well I've spent some time learning about OS X Unix with the excellent Lynda.com tutorial. I uninstalled the Oracle mySQL and installed the one from MacPorts. It seems to be working OK -- I dragged my old DBs from the Windows PC into /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 and they show up in phpMyAdmin as expected.

Alas, all this work does not seem to have impressed DBD::MySQL, which still fails in require as follows: 

Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mys
+ql/mysql.bundle' for module DBD::mysql: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.12/dar
+win-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle, 1): Library not 
+loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.12/d

The perl script ptest.pl is a simple "Hello, World" that runs without complaint if I comment out the line "use DBD::MySQL;" Diagnosis with otool was recommended in some of the online discussion. I ran otool -L /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle I got this result:

    libmysqlclient.18.dylib (compatibility version 18.0.0, current ver
+sion 18.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current v
+ersion 159.1.0)

Suggestions for further troubleshooting are very welcome. I suppose the MacPorts perl distro might work better with their mySQL, but it seems like there ought to be a simpler solution.

Cheers,

Bruce
