in reply to DBD::mysql installation problem (Mac OS X 10.5.2)

Over the past couple years, I have ignored the DBD::mysql test suite completely when installing, regardless of system. It has always worked, so long as I know to make sure that mysql and mysqlconfig are in the PATH. YMMV.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    I've resolved the issue: Apparently there's an incompatibility with the libraries which are shipped with the mySQL binary for OS X and the Leopard XCode. Rebuilding MySQL from source resolved the issue.
