Mike,
I was encountering the same errors as you in my quest to install DBD::mysql and discovered that under the following setup: Custom installed Perl 5.8.1 RC3 - No multi-threading ggc 2.95 - via /usr/sbin/gcc_select 2 Removing /sw/lib/perl5/Storable.pm & /sw/lib/perl5/auto/Storable I was able to compile and install Bundle::Msql which installs DBD::mysql. I cannot isolate wich of the above steps actually fixed the problem but I noted this difference in the make procedure: Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql () chmod 644 mysql.bs rm -f ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lm -lz chmod 755 ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle cp mysql.bs ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bs chmod 644 ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bs Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql () chmod 644 mysql.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" /usr/local/bin/perl myld MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -L/usr/local/lib -lz As you can see the first one carried on past the previous error point. I have a feeling that Bundle::Msql would successfully install under the default apple environment without switching gcc, without recompiling perl, and without removing Storable... I simply combined the methods of previous posts and hoped for the best. Later resorting to a memory of installing Bundle::Msql elsewhere. Someone should likely attempt to install Bundle::Msql under a clean OSX (Panther) install and report back on the outcome... cschilbe
