Working fine here, but I did install mysql from source (Shame on you Tom!
The latest 3.23.x release even has replication support)
My guess is the RPM puts the mysql include dir in some wierd place... did
you specify the right place when you install DBD::Mysql?
Install from source. It's not that bad:
mysqldump <database> > database.sql
configure
make
make install
mysql_install_db
restart mysql
run mysql and "source database.sql"
No more problems and the installation will make sense.
