Evil Ted, for your edification these are my versions;
mysql from Blastwave. Possibly not the latest version but its been working fine
for both slimserver and gallery for a while now so I'm not planning on messing
with it;
PKGINST: CSWmysql5
NAME: mysql5 - MySQL 5 database management system - server files
CATEGORY: application
ARCH: i386
VERSION: 5.0.51,REV=2008.01.20
BASEDIR: /
VENDOR: http://www.mysql.com/ packaged for CSW by Alex Moore
PSTAMP: thor20080120121202
INSTDATE: Aug 30 2008 11:36
HOTLINE: http://www.blastwave.org/bugtrack/
EMAIL: asmoore at blastwave.org
STATUS: completely installed
FILES: 150 installed pathnames
6 shared pathnames
1 linked files
39 directories
37 executables
77598 blocks used (approx)
OS version and cpu type;
Solaris Express Community Edition snv_107 X86
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ Socket AM2
Using bundled perl version;
$ head slimserver.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i86pc-solaris-64int
(with 32 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
And looking in my slimserver/CPAN/arch directory, it looks like I'm using the
slimserver DBD::mysql modules;
5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int/auto/DBD:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 slim apps 3 Jan 9 07:22 mysql
5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int/auto/DBD/mysql:
total 212
-rwxr-xr-x 1 slim apps 161128 Jan 9 07:22 mysql.so
Hope this helps. I'll try a rebuild some time over the next couple of days and
see if there's any extra steps I've missed in my write-ups. I wonder if I had a
CPAN issue at one point which is now resolved and so now the CPAN libraries are
already in place I'll never see that issue again.
I remember going 'off piste' myself and compiling perl 5.10 to see if that
helped but it just created more problems than it solved and in the end I got it
all working with what I already had installed so its probably not worth going
down too many rabbit holes to get this working.
Cheers and good luck
