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

I am at a loss on this. I've reinstalled Perl (compiled from source using gcc instead of Sun's compiler). Mysql was compiled with gcc as well. Perl is version 5.6.1 and Mysql is version 3.23.39. DBI installed fine but DBD::MySQL spits out the following error during make test:
t/50chopblanks......ok t/50commit..........ok, 14/30 skipped: No transactions + t/60leaks...........skipped test on this platform t/ak-dbd............ok t/akmisc............ok t/dbdadmin..........ok t/insertid..........FAILED tests 5,9 Failed 2/12 tes +ts, 83.33% okay t/mysql.............ok t/mysql2............ok Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +---------- t/insertid.t 12 2 16.67% 5, 9 1 test and 14 subtests skipped. Failed 1/18 test scripts, 94.44% okay. 2/758 subtests failed, 99.74% o +kay. *** Error code 29 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic'
Is it safe to install? or will the module fail miserably? Any ideas would be appreciated greatly.
