Perl: 5.6.1 OS: Solaris 2.8 MySQL:3.23.45 I'm getting the dreaded: "failed:: can't load 'blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/msyql.so" I read in the documentation that this is happening because, even though the -L switch is pointing to the correct location, it can't load libmysqlclient.so. So I tried the static libmysqlclient.a. But, the Makefile.PL rejects it as an unknown switch.
I'm a bit confused as to why libmysqlclient.so can't be found when the switch points to the correct location. And, confused again about why ExtUtils::MakeMaker rejects the static lib. Can someone help un-befuddle me? -dk David Knox IONA Technologies, PLC Principal Consultant TBI Group CORBA/J2EE Practice END 2 ANYWHERE 9145 W.
