DBD::Mysql for 64-bit memory

[Debra Baker]

Hi, all:

I have been having problems loading DBD::Mysql v. 4.006 (and v. 3.0008) on Mac 10.5.2 Leopard with DBI 1.52. My perl 5.8.8 is 64-bit. I have looked at the enormous number of Google finds for DBD::Mysql problems but my directories for mysql/lib and mysql/include are correct. The ccflags have -arch x84-64. One site (http://www.entropy.ch/blog/Developer/2008/03/25/Installing-Perl-DBD-mysql-on-Mac-OS-X-10-5.html) said that this perl module does not work for 64-bit memory. Is this true? Is this a bug that can be fixed?

Here's my "make test" log error:
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/phd/basics/perl_modules/DBD-mysql-4.006/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle' for module DBD::mysql: dlopen(/phd/basics/perl_modules/DBD-mysql-4.006/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:

Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected.
