I recently upgraded MySQL from www.netgod.net/x/ and now my DBI stuff doesn't work. Here are the relevant (I think) packages:
ii libmysqlclient6 3.22.25-1 mysql database client library ii libmysqlclient6 3.22.25-1 mysql database development files ii mysql-client 3.22.22-2 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-doc 3.22.22-2 mysql database documentation ii mysql-server 3.22.22-2 mysql database server binaries ii libdbi-perl 1.02-1 The Perl5 Database Interface by Tim Bunce ii libdbd-mysql-pe 1.2005-1 mySQL database interface for Perl ii perl 5.004.04-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report ii perl-base 5.004.04-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries And here is the error: install_driver(mysql) failed: [Sun Dec 12 17:50:00 1999] address.pl: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: libmysqlclient.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004/DynaLoader.pm line 166. And here is the library I have: $ locate libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.6 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0 The potato versions of libdbi-perl and libdbd-mysql-perl both want libc6 2.1 and perl 5.005. Is there any hope or should I just downgrade MySQL and wait until I move to a potato system? Cheers, Pann -- geek by nature, Linux by choice L I N U X .~.
