Re: Problems when 'make' in DBD::mysql

[Ferdi Ladeira]

I had the same problem - only way around was to compile using the static MySQL libraries.

Copy the MySQL static libraries to a known location,
e.g. cp /usr/local/mysql/lib/*.a /tmp/mysql-staticlib
then change your perl makeline as follows:

perl Makefile.PL --libs="-L/tmp/mysql-staticlib -lmysqlclient"

This creates a makefile which statically links in the MySQL libs and you should get it going then.

I never managed to get the dynamically linked libraries to work, so I use the static linked libraries
