I tried to post this, and it looks like my mail server wasn't working.
Apologies if I've double posted.


I have a Libranet (Debian based) Linux system.=A0=A0I=A0tried=A0installing=
=A0MySQL=A0and
DBD::mysql through apt-get, but it didn't work (I also used apt-get to get
all the packages, then install DBD::mysql separately, still no luck).=A0=A0I
finally decided to download the latest version of MySQL from mysql.com and
install it.=A0=A0I=A0had=A0to=A0create=A0the=A0directory=A0/usr/incl ude/mys=

the header files to it.

I've been trying to install DBD::mysql for several hours.=A0=A0I=A0have=A0b=

reading the directions, but I still can't find (including through Google --
but I tend to always search on the wrong terms, so Google search links are
helpful -- especially if you can let me know the terms that brought up the
right answer) anything that helps me get this module installed.

I do "perl Makefile.PL" and "make" and everything is fine.=A0=A0I've=A0post=

output from "make test" at the end of the post, due to it's length.=A0=A0I=

in the instructions that this might be a problem with the linker and added
the line:

=2DL/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.3/libgcc.a -lgcc

at the end of the line in Makefile that starts with "CFLAGS =3D ", but it m=

absolutely no difference.

So what can I do to install this?=A0=A0I'd=A0prefer=A0to=A0get=A0it=A0worki=
ng=A0with=A0the
later version of MySQL, but if I have to wipe that and go with apt-get
packages, I can do that.=A0=A0At=A0this=A0point,=A0I=A0ma=A0very=A0frustrat=
ed=A0because=A0it's
not working with the "official" package and it doesn't work with the
Debian .deb files (they don't include mysql_config, and it always complains
about not finding that).

Any help is appreciated.

the missing net_buffer_lengh symbol normally means that the mysql
libraries cannot be found; however, I vaguely remember a problem with the
later 4.1.x servers when MYSQL_CLIENT is not defined. So if you can build
DBD::mysql against an older mysql, you might want to try looking at adding a
-DMYSQL_CLIENT(sp) to the Makefile (or makefile.pl) otherwise look into making
sure that DBD::mysql can find the mysql libraries.

And of course, I would like to know what the solution ended up being so that I
can change Makefile.PL if needed.

Okay, here's what worked. Some of this is the same.

I unpacked MySQL 4.2 and installed it to /usr/local/mysql.
cp /usr/local/mysql/lib/* /usr/lib/*
cp /usr/local/mysql/include/* /usr/include/

THEN I did perl Makefile.PL ... etc. and it worked.

I had tried to install a number of times the Debian way -- by apt-get'ing
mysql-common, mysql-server, libdbd-mysql-perl and, I think, 2 other package=
s
(as per instructions in DBD::MySQL). I would get an error because it
couldn't find mysql_config. I know absolutely nothing about C and compilin=
g
C. I also don't know if Debian is supposed to have .debs for Perl modules,=

but it would seem to me for this to work well on Debian based systems, that=

it would be necessary to find a way to bypass mysql_config or, since it's a=

Perl script, and open source, would it be possible to just incorporate it
into the DBD::mysql package? (I don't know -- I've never done any packagin=

Sounds about right. I'm much happier with releases with code names. Those=

It's the latest stable version in the downloads section for Linux.
