Hi all,

I tried to install DBD::mysql module in my MacBookPro 10.5.8. But it is ending with an error message that is fail to find out the mysql_config file. I installed the mysql system using fink command.
It will be great if you can suggest a way to fix that.

many thanks in advance

I think you need to specify the cflags and libs options in the Makefile

e.g.

sudo perl Makefile.PL \
--cflags="-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common" \
--libs="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm"

This is probably the case for you as well, but to make sure, simply check that both of the directories above exist. After this, you should be able to successfully perform the sudo make and sudo make install commands and be up and running.
