Re: DBD::mysql

Would I insert that code above line 129, or replace the line? I've heard something about Perl having problems coming with RH. Mysql is installed and up and running. I did have trouble installing DBD::mysql and so had to use force. Now even force doesn't work. How would I go about removing the existing Perl to install a new one? Are all of the directories pretty much contained in /usr/lib/perl5 ? Also where is the mSQL.xs located?

I've installed perl 5.8.5, and am now getting a different problem with installing DBD::mysql. CPAN puts up a list of a couple thousand lines of errors which largely read `dbdimp.c:####: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type` [download] Also there are numerous errors like `dbdimp.c: In function 'mysql_db_reconnect': dbdimp.c.2273: 'MYSQL undeclared (first use in this function)` [download] Is the installation not finding MySQL? It's up and running when I try to install with CPAN.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It seems you STILL haven't downloaded the client libraries for MySQL. DBD-MySQL requires certain library or header files from MySQL in order to be able to compile. Go to the MySQL site and download the appropriate file of 'libraries and headers' (usually around 2.6MB) for your version of MySQl. THEN try to compile DBD-mysql. It will probably work - it usually does. jdtoronto	[reply]
