First a big thanks to Mark, BAO, Beacker, Matthais, Rich & Ken for their response.
My problem was that I thought that I needed to download "tar" file to start the installation. Rich's response somewhat cleared that. I ran the following commands, and got the following errors: % perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install Data::Dumper cpan> install DBI (no problem upto this point) cpan> install DBD::mysql Errors returned: Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 174 readline() on closed filehandle PIPE at Makefile.PL line 176 ... (there are 10 such errors) Then few other lines of output without error. Then I get the following (error) response: Checking if your kit is complete... looks good Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97. ... (number of such errors) Note (probabally harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97. ... (again quite a number of such errors) Note (probabally harmless): No library found for -lgz Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql Makefile:89: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make --NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible cpan> What are these errors? How should I fix them? Can I continue installing other software (Apache, qmail, etc.) Thanks.
