Re^2: DBD-mysql: dyld error

annonymous Monk, thanks for your response and the handy links... yes i have googled till i dropped. Sadly for me, i have visited them all before and i have tried them all and much more. i have installed and reinstalled multiple versions of mysql, DBI and DBD in both architectures as well. so just for completeness sake i will go over them again. Frankly, i don't know the big picture of what i am trying to achieve, which makes me uncreative when i hit a problem do you even know what the error means? that might help me see the big picture and be more independent.

Error means dyld, the OS-X dynamic linker, is looking for symbol _mysql_init , because DBD/mysql.bundle wants it, but it can't find it. final solution to - dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_server_init - John Washburn - org.mozilla.lists.support-bugzilla - MarkMail	[reply]

thanks anonymous.... Problem solved...in a nutshell i installed DBD-mysql in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/perl, and not /usr/bin/perl. long answer: I basically stayed away from the many examples on the web that used /usr/bin/perl, and /usr/local/mysql.... so it works, now, but it is a cop-out, since the other methods should work as well... anyways this is easier to maintain since i am using an xampp distribution...we'll see about that. here is what i did. - Fresh install of xampp-0.74 - Download and tar xvf the developer package of xampp to /mytmp - note: i needed the include dir in the developer package for cpan to install DBD-mysql, namely the mysql include files - Copied the /mytmp/xampp/xamppfiles/include to /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles - Installed DBI and DBD:mysql using CPAN and the perl in xampp. It is important to use XAMPP perl, and /usr/bin. - sudo /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI' - sudo /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql' - in my scripts, i used #!/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/perl instead #!/usr/bin/perl thanks for your input regards,	[reply]
