Looks like I pretty much got it--I su'd to root and then everything seemed to work, Everything, that is but the tests. Did I miss some doc somewhere that describes seting up a user and passwd so that the tests would execute properly?

Make absolutely sure DBI is installed where DBD::mysql can find it. This error usually appears when DBI is not installed. Were there any other error mesages? If DBI is installed, make sure the user running 'perl Makefile.PL' can read the files. In some OSs, you also need execute permission for DBI's shared library (e.g., DBI.dll in Win32 and DBI.so in Linux). > (I tried send this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but got no > response. I don't think it's a very active list.)
