hi sorry for the length of this mail - my basic question is just: how do you succesfully install the Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216 on macosX? (i only need the mysql part of this module, and i already have the mysql database server running smoothly) please see extensive shell-dump below - commands seperated by newline. im not too fond of words like: warning, Unrecognized, undefined and error ... anyone got a clue? many thanks i nadvance allan _____________________ [localhost:/applications] aju% cd Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216 [localhost:/applications/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216] aju% ls ChangeLog MANIFEST.SKIP README lib mysql tests MANIFEST Makefile.PL dbd mSQL nodbd [localhost:/applications/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216] aju% perl makefile.pl Which drivers do you want to install? 1) MySQL only 2) mSQL only (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2) 3) MySQL and mSQL (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2) 4) mSQL 1 and mSQL 2 5) MySQL, mSQL 1 and mSQL 2 Enter the appropriate number: [3] 1 Do you want to install the MysqlPerl emulation?
