Re: Install on solaris mysql dbi and dbd, client side mysql

[Simon Liu]

First, you should download the package from the CPAN. You can find the DBI/DBI:Mysql at search.cpan.org.

and, install it.

eg:
gzip -d DBI-1.48.tar.gz
tar xvf DBI-1.48.tar
cd DBI-1.48
perl Makefile.PL
make;make install;make clean

And,
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install DBI
do the same thing.

I doen't find the bin package. I think it need compile because it depend on the system.

Notice:
The DBD install will error if your mysql's bin path doesn't in the PATH variant.
You can add it like this:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
export PATH

And, last notice:
DBD::Mysql package's installation will take trouble to you if you doesn't have the static library "libmysqlclient.so". Try to make one when you install MySQL.
