in reply to Installing DBD via CPAN

Excellent the makefile was succesfully created. I then used ther make command and was given this error after
In file included from dbdimp.c:29:
dbdimp.h:31: mysql.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:32: errmsg.h: No such file or director
make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1

[download]

I always check other resources first (but this time to no avail) and i appreciate you help!

    Sure looks to me like you're still missing the mysql include files. /usr/local/mysql/include should contain the following files 
    config-win.h  heap.h       my_dir.h         my_tree.h        mysys_err.h        t_ctype.h
config.h      m_ctype.h    my_global.h      myisam.h         nisam.h            thr_alarm.h
dbug.h        m_string.h   my_list.h        myisammrg.h      queues.h           thr_lock.h
errmsg.h      merge.h      my_net.h         myisampack.h     raid.h             violite.h
ft_global.h   my_alarm.h   my_no_pthread.h  mysql.h          sslopt-case.h
getopt.h      my_base.h    my_nosys.h       mysql_com.h      sslopt-longopts.h
global.h      my_bitmap.h  my_pthread.h     mysql_version.h  sslopt-usage.h
hash.h        my_config.h  my_sys.h         mysqld_error.h   sslopt-vars.h
    If it does, then please post the lines before the error (should be something like gcc dbdimp.c -I./ BLAH BLAH) so we can see the parameters passed to the compiler. If it doesn't, than you need to install the include files with MySQL. (Although I'm pretty sure they're installed by default if you compiled it from source.)
