Error compiling perl-DBD-MySQL after upgrading to MySQL 4.1

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a new Virtual Private Server running on RedHat 9.0, and found that there were a number of things I needed to update.

Firstly, I needed to upgrade MySQL to version 4.1. I ran into some problems doing so, but I was finally able to get version 4.1 installed successfully (with a RPM binary). In the process of getting version 4.1 installed, though, I saw that some packages had dependancies on the previous version of MySQL, so I tried to re-compile those packages to remedy the situation, and the first package I'm working with is perl-DBD-MySQL.

I downloaded the source rpm and installed it with
rpm -ivh perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.src.rpm

Then I went to:
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS

And tried to build the package with:
rpmbuild -ba perl-DBD-MySQL.spec

But when I do, it fails, and this is the output:

Code:

[root@dharmamatch SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba perl-DBD-MySQL.spec

  libs          (mysql_config) = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv

  nocatchstderr (default    ) = 0

  testdb        (default    ) = test

  testhost      (default    ) =

  testpassword  (default    ) =

  testuser      (default    ) =



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

'perldoc INSTALL'.

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.31471 (%build)





RPM build errors:

    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.31471 (%build)

The problem seems to be this "passing arg 3" warning, and from what I've read in other forums so far, it sounds like it's looking for something it can't find, or something is mis-defined, but I'm not sure.

The version of perl installed is 5.8.0, would it be good to upgrade it to 5.8.6? If so, what would be the best way to go about doing so? I downloaded the binary of ActivePerl 5.8.6, but because of my inexperience with Linux, I don't know how to use it to upgrade my existing installation of 5.8.0.

Many thanks for any guidance anyone can provide.

Peter

Hi, if you install mysql (what version ?), make sure your lib*.so and "linked" files are in a directoy, in case you install mysql from RPM check the file path and locate the directory where your RPM install the *.so library. If you did install from source wich is the best solution (in my case) by default everything is installed in /usr/local/mysql.

After you successfully install mysql, add you /usr/mysql/lib/mysql directory to the /etc/ld.so.conf and save it, then load it by running "ldconfig -f /etc/ld.so.conf", and walla!, all your *.so files are accessible from any where in the system.

Note that if you system has Perl and CPAN, then it would be the easiest way to install all the packages you want, just type "cpan from shell". The first time CPAN is executed it will make you some question, just answer them and at the end choose only http servers rather than ftp because the are faster.

After all the questions, just type " install cpan" -->run "install Boundle::CPAN" and it will update your cpan.

Now make sure that you can run mysql_client from any part of the system, if you can't, do this "export PATH=$PATH:PATH_TO_YOU_MYSQL_BASE_DIR/bin" and try again by running mysql or any MySQL bin file.

After every thing is up, run CPAN again, just type "o conf prerequisites_policy ask" -->run "install DB::Mysql"

I hope all of these lines help you
