I am installing Perl 5.8.0 on Mac OS X 10.2.

When intalling DBD::mysql , during the make test phase I get a dyld::perl undefined symbols error. Underneath that is says:

dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_compress
_uncompress

(from error log)

I get these error when I try to run any cgi (Links SQL install for example).

Any ideas?

Sounds like you need to install zlib libraries. Not sure if Mac OS X has any sort of package management facility, but have a look for zlib.

Cheers,

Hmm, thanks Alex.

I'll look at that, and if not try a fresh install.

Try installing it by typing:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'

That should also download and install any dependencies it has...

Hi Sean. Thanks.

Yeah I tried this and still get the same errors even after installing all of those modules. Wierd.

After installing the MySQL package, the contents of the MySQL directory and subdirectories my be chown'ed to your MySQL user (usually mysql) otherwise when the daemon is started you get a variety of errors.

Ian and I did this and it has corrected the problem.
