Hi all

recently i've been trying to install DBD::mysql. as the first step, i downloaded the binary file of mysql for linux from mysql.com. i followed the instructions unpacking the files into a directory /usr/mysql. then i proceeded to install DBD::mysql. however, the makefile kept saying that it couldn't find mysql_config. actually i found the file at /usr/mysql/bin, and added the full path to the PATH enviroment parameter. but still the make file process alwayse failed, saying it couldn't find and execute mysql_config. what's more, when i went to the directory /usr/mysql/bin and typed mysql_config, the shell said there's no such command, even if the file is right there.

could anyone give me a clue about this?

thanks a lot!
