more install problems on DBD::mysql

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm at a loss as to what to do. I upgraded Mysql recently and broke DBD::mysql. When I make test It starts failing all sorts of test saying my server isnt running. If I run some tests by hand (10dsnlist.t) it says

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5
+.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD:

I've read the docs, and tried to use the static libraries, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

The `mysql.so` file is available? Did you check for it? Depending on the Linux box that you are, you can try to use the program ldconfig to fix this.

I can't use ldconfig, (redhat 2.4). mysql.so is available ,but I see a reference to libmysqlclient.so.10, I can only find libmysqlclient.so.15. Could that be the problem, if so what can I do? Thanks for the help	[reply]
