Hi, I have installed DBD::mysql driver and already have DBI installed. when I use DBD::mysql in my code, it doesn't compile. i have looked at the directory and the driver is there. what coulde be the problem? here is the output i get from running my script:

EDIT: resolved by symlinking /usr/local/mysql-xxx/lib/mysql* to /usr/lib it's possibly because DBD::mysql looks in the latter directory for MySQL libraries
