Hello all
Im starting development with perl on a linux suse 9.1 now, im use to windows. I have perl installed and it works fine, i have installed the DBI fine but now need to install the DBD for mysql so i can talk to a mysql database. When i try to compile it i.e
perl Makefile.PL - it works fine but when i
make - i recieve the error
An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error
message seems to indicate that you don't have a libz.a,
or a libz.so. This is typically resolved by:
1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list
by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL".
2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel
3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list
Msql-Mysql-modules@lists.mysql.com
For further hints, see INSTALL.html, section Linker flags.
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so] Error 1
Any ideas what i need to do or install?????
Can anyone help this newbie......Thanks in advance
