Connie,
I had the same error with another program recently, but probably the
fix for yours is the same: try compile zlib with -fPIC by adding
" -fPIC" to CFLAGS in the Makefile.

I am having a hard time installing DBD:mysql on 64 bit machine snv1.ultralight.org
/usr/bin/perl MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> install DBD::mysql
Dies with errors...so I decided to do it from the source, and it also
complains....here is the output from the source install:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] DBD-mysql-3.0006]# /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL I will use the
following settings for compiling and testing:
cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/include/mysql
embedded (mysql_config) =
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm
mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config

nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testsocket (default ) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc INSTALL'.

I have tried using -fPIC, but I think I do not know how to tell it to use that
correctly. I assume it is passed with --cflags on the 'perl Makefile.PL' line,
but I can't get that to work.
Can someone tell me the syntax on the 'perl Makefile.PL' line, or, what the
problem is and how can I get DBD::mysql to load?
By the way, perl Makefile.PL --help gives me..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] DBD-mysql-3.0006]# perl -Makefile.PL --help
Usage: perl [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
-0[octal] specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
-a autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into @F)
-C[number/list] enables the listed Unicode features
-c check syntax only (runs BEGIN and CHECK blocks)
-d[:debugger] run program under debugger
-D[number/list] set debugging flags (argument is a bit mask or alphabets)
-e program one line of program (several -e's allowed, omit programfile)
-f don't do $sitelib/sitecustomize.pl at startup
-F/pattern/ split() pattern for -a switch (//'s are optional)
-i[extension] edit <> files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)
-l[octal] enable line ending processing, specifies line terminator
-[mM][-]module execute "use/no module..." before executing program
-n assume "while (<>) { ... }" loop around program
-p assume loop like -n but print line also, like sed
-P run program through C preprocessor before compilation
-s enable rudimentary parsing for switches after programfile
-S look for programfile using PATH environment variable
-t enable tainting warnings
-T enable tainting checks
-u dump core after parsing program
-U allow unsafe operations
-v print version, subversion (includes VERY IMPORTANT perl info)
-V[:variable] print configuration summary (or a single Config.pm variable)
-w enable many useful warnings (RECOMMENDED)
-W enable all warnings
-x[directory] strip off text before #!perl line and perhaps cd to directory
-X disable all warnings
