Hello,
Would you be able to give me some advice on a DBI issue I'm having? I'm
quite new to Perl and completely new to
MySQL. I'm currently trying to install DBI (v1.607) and DBD::mysql
(v4.010).
I'm hoping to use these along with
BioPerl and the Ensembl Perl API, to access the online genomic database
Ensembl automatically.
I'm trying to install both DBI and DBD::mysql to a local directory, as I
don't have root access. I've been using
the commands given in the README files, as well as setting the PREFIX and
LIB parameters (I've shown these in the postscript).
DBI installs fine, but my problems started after I set PERL5LIB and
tried to
install DBD::mysql.
The following call worked, as did the subsequent call to "make".
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/twalsh/lib/DBD-mysql-4.010
LIB=/home/twalsh/lib/DBD-mysql-4.010
It has been a while since I used mysql but you look to have done the
right thing.
However, the call to "make test" failed. Here's the output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looks like you are not the only one with this chopblanks problem:
http://www.nabble.com/Bundle::Bugzilla-install-hangs-td20363858.html
http://lists.mysql.com/perl/4296

so I'd doubt it is due to the way you are installing it. The second one
looks identical to yours and is still unanswered.

The process hangs at that point. Since this is the "make test" stage, I'm
guessing that maybe the problem at this
stage of the installation actually indicates that something's going
wrong at
an earlier stage, but I haven't
been able to figure out what I might be doing wrong during those earlier
parts of the installation.
What could be going wrong?
Are there perhaps settings in the compilation that aren't correct (see
post-postscript)?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Thomas Walsh.
P.S. Here is the list of commands I'd hoped to use to install DBI and
DBD::mysql:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/twalsh/lib/DBI-1.607
LIB=/home/twalsh/lib/DBI-1.607
make
make test
make install
PERL5LIB=/home/twalsh/lib/DBI-1.607/i686-linux
export PERL5LIB
perl -V
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/twalsh/lib/DBD-mysql-4.010
LIB=/home/twalsh/lib/DBD-mysql-4.010
make
make test
make install
P.P.S. Settings used to compile DBD::mysql:
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32
-march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing
embedded (mysql_config) =
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt
-lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto
mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 1
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testsocket (default ) =
Use of uninitialized value in printf at Makefile.PL line 175, <PIPE> line
93.
I thought it might be interesting to know what is on line 175 of
Makefile.PL so I tried myself and got the same warning suggesting
testsocket was not defined so I doubt this is the source of the problem.
testuser ( ) = twalsh
To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.
Any particular reason why you are not running MySQL 5 - I refer to "You
must have MySQL version 5.0 and greater for this test to run". I see
there is a MySQL 5.1 and 6 now.
Anyway, I tried the same version of DBD::mysql with a mysql server we
have here and got the same failures but it did not hang:

Unless someone else jumps in, if I get some time later today I'll look a
bit further.
