Hi, Try this command: perl -MDBI -e1 If it will tell you that it can't find the DBI module, this means that DBI was not properly installed. If it will give no results, this means that you have the DBI module installed, so try the following command: perl -M'DBI 999' -e1 It will give an error telling that you don't have DBI version 999 installed but only the version ... and here it will tell the version number. If it is a newer version that the version required by MySQL RPM, then perhaps there is an error in the format of the version of DBI, or most probably in the way MySQL checks that version and don't like a newer one. You have some solutions: 1. Manually edit the file DBI.pm after it is installed on the computer and write the older version instead. Then install MySQL and then change the version back in DBI.pm file. The newer DBI will surely work with MySQL. 2. Install the older version of DBI, install MySQL, then install again the latest version of DBI module. If rpm doesn't allow you to do this because you might need to remove the older version of DBI, you can download the module DBI from search.cpan.org, and compile and install it using: perl Makefile.pl make make test make install or use the command: cpan (But in this case you will need to answer to some configuration settings) Then do: cpan> install DBI This will download and install the latest version of DBI.
