I am running FreeBSD 4.1 and have installed Mysql. I need to tell DBD::mysql that libmysqlclient.so.6 is in /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.6 and not where its looking at it for.

----------------------------
Welcome to Links SQL Setup!
---------------------------
Loading SQL definitions and DBD::mysql.
SQL.mysql file loaded.
DBD::mysql not found! Perhaps you mistyped the driver name, or it may not be installed. Error message was:
Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: Shared object "libmysqlclient.so.6" not found at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

at /usr/home/ppoll/ppoll-www/cgi-bin/directory/admin/setup/setup.cgi line 152


Aborting .. please install the appropriate DBD driver and rerun setup.cgi.



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

Im moving my Links Sql directory to a new webserver.

Anyone help?

Can you not edit setup.cgi

(Dont blame me if I'm wrong!)

Hi,

Try reinstall DBD::mysql module. As root:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'

will do the trick.

Cheers,

Alex
