Error with DynaLoader.pm and DBD::mysql

spider79 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am having a problem with DynaLoader.pm and DBD:mysql

It produces the following error when I try to run my perl code

DynaLoader::bootstrap for DBD::mysql (auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so)
[Wed, 07-Dec-11 12:40:17] install_driver(mysql) failed: DBD::mysql obj
+ect version 4.020 does not match bootstrap parameter 3.0007 at /usr/l
+ib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 253, <G
+EN1> line 1.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 17) line 3, <GEN1> line 1.

It looks like an installation error - but what did I do wrong?

Looks like you copied files around instead of doing a proper install. Undo the copy and install DBD::mysql as documented. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]

I uninstalled the DBD::mysql modules with pm-uninstall and reinstalled it with cpan, but I see the same problem as before.	[reply]
