I have followed the instructions at
http://www.symbolstone.org/cgi/dbi/moduledump?module=Msql-Mysql-modules
to install MySQL Perl DBI/DBD which are:
First of all you need to fetch the
archives from any CPAN mirror, for
example
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module
The following archives are required
(version numbers may have changed, I
choose those which are current as of
this writing):
DBI/DBI-1.13.tar.gz
Data/Data-ShowTable-3.3.tar.gz
DBD/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2217.tar.gz
Then enter the following commands:
gzip -cd DBI-1.13.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd DBI-1.13
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
cd ..
gzip -cd Data-ShowTable-3.3.tar.gz |
tar xf -
cd Data-ShowTable-3.3
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install # Don't try make test,
the test suite is broken
cd ..
gzip -cd
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2217.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2217
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
During "perl Makefile.PL" you will be
prompted some questions. In
particular you have to choose the
installed drivers (MySQL, mSQL2 and/or
mSQL1). The MySQL driver will be called
DBD::mysql, a single mSQL driver
will be called DBD::mSQL. If you want
to support both mSQL1 and mSQL2,
they former will be DBD::mSQL1.
I can't find 2217 anywhere so I used 2215. Everything seemed fine, but
when I run a simple Perl test script as follows:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use DBI;
I get:
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i586-linux ....... at ./test line 3
Can someone take a moment to get me on the right track here?
Thanks
Don Hargroves
