cannot install innotop: cpan> install DBD::mysql Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 82

[c p]

Hi I need some help to figure out why I cant install DBD::mysql. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried yum install of mysql-devel but this resulted in a conflict with my MYSQL install.

Here's the problem:

Server version: 5.1.49-community MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)


cpan[3]> install DBD::mysql
