Re: Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'!

[Karsten Breivik]

Same problem here. I am running Solaris 8 w perl isntalled in /usr/local/bin/perl.

--------------------

# /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL
Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 76.

Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!

I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (guessed) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include
embedded (guessed) =
libs (guessed) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lcrypt
-lnsl
mysql_config (guessed) = mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default) = 0
nofoundrows (default) = 0
ssl (guessed) = 0
testdb (default) = test
testhost (default) =
testpassword (default) =
testsocket (default) =
testuser (default) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Using DBI 1.50 (for perl 5.008005 on sun4-solaris) installed in /usr/local/lib/p
erl5/site_perl/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI/
Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql

-----------------

Don't know if the error msg above are a problem. The script seems to make the correct guesses except for mysql_config. Is this a file or what is it...?

Anyways... Afterwards it compiled (make) and installed (make install) fine, and the connection worked...
