Hello All - Help Help Help! I am having problems installing Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215.tar.gz and have been struggling with this for days. Arghh! I am running Red Hat Linux 7.0, Perl 5.6.0, and MySQL 3.23.32. I read about an issue similar to mine in http://lists.omnipotent.net/mysql/200012/msg00122.html but the solution did not work for me. There's the problem: ++ "Perl Makefiles.PL" works fine with the exception of a warning that states "Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgz" ++ I do a "make" and get the following: (note the errors at the end) mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib mkdir blib/arch mkdir blib/arch/auto mkdir blib/arch/auto/Msql-Mysql-modules mkdir blib/lib/auto mkdir blib/lib/auto/Msql-Mysql-modules mkdir blib/man1 /usr/bin/pod2text mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm >README make[1]: Entering directory `/updates/dbi010404/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215/mysql' mkdir ../blib/lib/DBD mkdir ../blib/arch/auto/DBD mkdir ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql mkdir ../blib/lib/auto/DBD mkdir ../blib/lib/auto/DBD/mysql mkdir ../blib/man3 cp lib/DBD/mysql.pm ../blib/lib/DBD/mysql.pm cp lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm ../blib/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm cp lib/Mysql/Statement.pm ../blib/lib/Mysql/Statement.pm cp lib/Mysql.pm ../blib/lib/Mysql.pm gcc -c -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBI -I/usr/include/m ysql -I../dbd -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBI -I/usr/li b/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -DVERSION=\"2.0415\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.0415\" -fPIC -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i 386-linux/CORE -DDBD_MYSQL dbdimp.c /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/mysql/g" < /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBI/Driver.xst > mysql.xsi /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/typemap mysql.xs > mysql.xsc && mv mysql.xsc mysql.c gcc -c -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBI -I/usr/include/m ysql -I../dbd -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBI -I/usr/li b/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -DVERSION=\"2.0415\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.0415\" -fPIC -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i 386-linux/CORE -DDBD_MYSQL mysql.c Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql () chmod 644 mysql.bs LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib/mysql:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux /2.96" gcc -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so -shared -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lm -lz -L/usr/li b/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96 -lgcc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/updates/dbi010404/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215/mysql' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 ++ The solution in the web page above suggests the following: http://lists.omnipotent.net/mysql/200012/msg00122.html where are your "libz*" files (e.g., /opt/lib, /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib)? the current version is available from ftp.gnu.org (/opt/lib/libz.so.1.1.3). if you don't have a "libz.so.blah" file then go to ftp.gnu.org/zlibc and build a copy of it. if you use "--prefix=/opt" it'll put itself into /opt/lib, /opt/include, etc. you can then add /opt/lib to the top of /etc/ld.so.conf (if you haven't already) and the linker will happily use your copy. you may have to add a CFLAGS='-I/opt/include -L/opt/lib' to your environment before running the perl Makefile.PL command. Make sure to also compile zlib-1.1.3 with --shared or you won't get the .so file. ++ So I checked and I do have the libz* files and they are in /usr/lib. Also, /etc/ld.so.conf contains the path /usr/lib. The libz* files are libz.so.1.1.3 and libzvt.so.2.2.7. I am a novice so it is very possible that the answer is perfect and I'm not interpreting it correctly. I really would appreciate any and all help that anyone can provide. Please respond to me directly as well as to the list. Thank you.
