can't install DBD::mysql

My Machine is CentOS 5.11. It is now EOSL but I don't think my error is related to it. The version of perl is 5.20. I am installing DBD::mysql and it is throwing an error

Code:

Checking if libs are available for compiling...

Can't link/include C library 'mysqlclient', aborting.

That was from source package. Now, I tried to use CPAN and same result

Code:

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

'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'.



Checking if libs are available for compiling...

Can't link/include C library 'mysqlclient', aborting.

Warning: No success on command[/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL]

  MICHIELB/DBD-mysql-4.042.tar.gz

  /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL -- NOT OK

Failed during this command:

 MICHIELB/DBD-mysql-4.042.tar.gz              : writemakefile NO '/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 512

Note that I have installed mysql-devel

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql-devel

MySQL-devel-5.5.14-1.rhel5

Upgrading an OS is not an option as of the moment. I tried running ldconfig but to no avail. Has anyone experience the same error? How did you resolve it?

Quote:

MySQL-devel-5.5.14-1.rhel5

? Are you sure that this (3rd party?) package matches the installed mysql ?
? Which version(s) of mysql is installed ?
The original CentOS 5.11 version is: mysql-5.0.95-5.el5_9, mysql-devel-5.0.95-5.el5_9
Extra versions: mysql51*, mysql55*
... and various 3party versions: remi, rpmforge, oracle etc.

The official file list is here

The package I installed came from MySQL and not from the repositories.

Anyway, issue got resolve after installing MySQL-shared-compat and MySQL-shared
