Try having a look at your ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm file. What are the values of 'build_dir', 'cpan_home', and 'keep_source_where'? My guess is that they're wrong. Maybe you answered "y" to one of the configuration questions, when it wasn't looking for a y/n answer? -Ken

I installed MySQL from fink, and DBI and DBD:mysql from CPAN without problem. I didn't really 'answer' any of the questions while installing DBI either. Just hitting enter all the way(You might choose to actually read the questions). But, it is working flawless for me. :) Tor
