MySQL Forums

Hi,

I've noticed there are quite a few posts on this topic already, but I've found none with my cause.

I'm running Fedora Linux 11 and I recently had to reinstall it because my harddisk died. Using cpan, I install DBD, DBI, mysql as I (thought) I did on my old installation. However, when running the perl script, I got the message

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains:/home/huub/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug /mnt/Kaapstadadmin/HVW/Girobrief /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 3) line 3.
Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Multiplex, Proxy, Sponge.

So, I've checked on mysql.pm and found this:

/root/.cpan/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-WOmtIC/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-WOmtIC/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-SwKLck/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-SwKLck/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-SwKLck/blib/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm
/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.012-SwKLck/blib/lib/DBD/mysql.pm

Since I installed as root (obviously), shouldn't this have been installed in 1 of the at @INC mentioned directories?

Thank you for helping out.
