Perl-DBD-MySQL

I have a binary distribution of MySQL 4.0.20 installed in
/usr/local/mysql.
Therefore, the only libmysqlclient file I have is libmysqlclient. a
(static library).
And also, Perl:DBI already installed.

I'm trying to install perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004 from source.
What should I add to 'perl Makefile.PL' as arguments to make sure it
finds the
static library?

I've tried 'perl Makefile.PL
--libs=/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient. a and gotten
this:

---------------------------------

[root@localhost DBD-mysql-2.9004]# perl Makefile.PL
--libs=/usr/local/mysql/lib/lib/mysqlclient.a
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/include -mcpu=pentiumpro
libs (Users choice) =
/usr/local/mysql/lib/lib/mysqlclient.a
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

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

Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored:
'/usr/local/mysql/lib/lib/mysqlclient.a'
Using DBI 1.30 installed in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI
Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql
[root@localhost DBD-mysql-2.9004]#

---------------------------------

What should I do to get DBD-MySQL to install correctly?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
John

This must be easy, but I'm missing something... I want to execute a Perl script, and capture ALL its output into a PHP variable. Here are my 2 files: ------------------------------------- test3.pl ------------------------------------- print "PERL Hello from Perl!

I've read some posts on Perl versus Python and studied a bit of my Python book. I'm a software engineer, familiar with C++ objected oriented development, but have been using Perl because it is great for pattern matching, text processing, and automated testing.

Hi, I'm tearing my hair out on this one. I'm trying to embed a Perl interpreter into a C program. I need to be able to create and destroy the interpreter periodically, but will never actually have two interpreters at the same time. On Red Hat Linux 7.3 with Perl 5.6.1, the attached program segfaults. On Red Hat 9 with Perl 5.8.0, it works perfectly. Save the program code as "test-embed-perl.c" and the build script as "buildte". ...

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

I'm trying to install to php the Perl-1.0.0.tgz package (from http://pecl.php.net/package/perl, enabling one to call perl libraries) to a pre-existing Solaris system. Unfortunately, the attempt fails in a rather dramatic way, spewing out thousands of "relocation remains"... I'm somewhat lost on what to do next, the documentation that came along with the Perl package is somewhat sparse. Anyone have suggestions? % uname -a
