Installing DBD::Mysql on Solaris 10

[james yeager]

Hello -
again, i'm trying to get DBD-mysql-4.013 installed on a Solaris 10 (i86_64) server. The actual Mysql database is on a remote server, but it too is an identical Solaris 10 box. I'm able to get through the first two steps (after modifying Makefile):

perl Makefile.PL --testuser=jyeager --testpassword=pwd --testdb=linedev --testhost=palms
make

but this is what i get when i do make test:


PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00base....................ok
t/10connect.................skipped
all skipped: ERROR: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client Can't continue test
t/20createdrop..............skipped
all skipped: ERROR: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client. Can't continue test

I downloaded mysql-5.1.49-solaris10-x86_64 and unpacked it under /usr/local/mysql and tested it out. I verified that /usr/local/mysql is first in my PATH and i'm using binaries under /usr/local/mysql/bin. I'm able to login to the remote database just fine and do queries, etc.. It appears "make test" is using the libraries under /usr/sfw/lib/mysql instead of the ones under /usr/local/mysql/lib. Suggestions?

perl v5.8.4
gcc version 3.4.6


thanks in advance
