Re: DBD::mysql compiled OK, but "make test" fails -- 32 vs 64 bit issue

Try as I might, I was never able to force the linker to use 64 bit libraries. Turns out that I'd compiled a 32 bit perl (the default according to the perl documentation). I tried to recompile perl as 64 bit (-Duse64bitint) but things were still not working. So I installed a 32 bit mysql 5.1.50 package and used the 32 bit perl.

Then when I tried to "make" DBD::mysql again, I got these errors:
gcc: dbdimp.o: No such file or directory
gcc: mysql.o: No such file or directory
I had to tweak the Makefile by removing -mt, -m32, and -xarch=sparc. That allowed "make" to succeed. After that "make test" succeeded without error. Finally!

Hopefully this information will help someone who is scouring the web and looking at as many posts regarding this problem as I did.
