First I wanted to build the DBD::mysql package. That kept failing because whatever make resulted in could not be loaded for the tests with a Symbol not found: _is_prefix
. So I assumed that cpan might be a tad old. I know it's a random assumption, but cpan did tell me to install the latest Bundle::CPAN.
Who's successfully installed either DBD::mysql or Bundle::CPAN
on Mac OS X 10.5? Could you recommend any thing I could be doing differently?
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level (with 4 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.36, for apple-darwin9.5.0 (i386) using readline 5.1
Here's a log of the CPAN output for DBD::mysql:

Okay, if you get these errors I now know the following:
MySQL 5.1 for Mac OS X x86_64
is not compatible with DBD::mysql
(yet). Install the 32-bit x86
version, and try again. You'll succeed. I wish the perl Makefile.pl
would just tell you that in a banner.Bundle::CPAN
had issues because I wasn't installing as root. Why that makes it report circular references instead of installation permission issues, I'll never understand.Please add a comment if and when this became outdated information.
