i install DBI module and terminal display very long progress with text.below is just several last lines.i don't know what the problem

[root@firdaus Desktop]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-community-5.0.51a-0.rhel5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(DBI) is needed by MySQL-server-community-5.0.51a-0.rhel5.i386

You need to post more than that - the cause of the error is earlier

i try this...

cpan[1]> install DBI

[root@firdaus linux]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-community-5.0.51a-0.rhel5.i386.rpm

I don't know if this is the same issue http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13634

I'd also try finding an rpm of perl DBI, because cpan can produce some strange results. Try http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2htm...submit=Search+...

do it yourself,and search it in google ,I think you will be successfull..

Also, if you are working at a company and they are using RHEL, they would have paid for support, usually...

thank's so much..
