Has anyone been able to install Msql-Mysql-modules-*.tar.gz ?

I have the precompiled mysql pkg from http://www-u.life.uiuc.edu/~mwvaugh/MacOSX/Packages/ and can compile and install the Bundle DBI stuff, but can't get the Mysql driver to compile.

The version I'm using is Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215

The make fails with the following error:
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql" cc -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -bundle -undefined suppress dbdimp.o mysql.o -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
make[1]: *** [../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle] Error 1
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2

Has anyone had any luck?

Well, i'm not sure where the Package installs MySQL and it's related lib's, however, after getting the above error, I woud run this command at the prompt and try to complie it again:

ranlib /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a

You were right about the location of the lib's...
but I got the following after running 'ranlib' the make still fails:

[localhost:local/lib/mysql] root# ranlib /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_pthread.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_thr_init.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(thr_mutex.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(bmove.o) has no symbols

There is a related thread at http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/Foru...ML/000284.html

What is the error message you get from make when it fails?
Maybe we can solve these problems together

I have posted the set of steps to get DBD::mysql operational on the forum thread at http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/Foru...ML/000284.html

Happy perl-ing.
