Path problem with 5.0.45 and DBD::mysql on Mac OsX 10.4.10

[R Test]

There is certainly a path problem with with DBD::mysql (apparently 4.005) in combination with MySQL (5.0.45, 32bit powerpc).

DBD::mysql is looking for various files in /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/*.* , which in fact are to be found in /usr/local/mysql/lib/*.*



The solution was the creation of a link

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

as described in http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread676055.html



Who is not behaving proprely here? Is this a MySQL problem or a DBD::mysql problem?


Thanks.
