Hi all! Thanks for the previous help. As before my system consists of: Red Hat Linux 6.0 MySQL ver3.22.27 oDBI module ver 1.13 Data-ShowTable ver 3.3. MySQL mod Ver 1.2209

And I am trying to get MySQL mod Ver 1.2209 installed. I was able to get a make done without any errors. But now when I do a make test I get some errors which I think are when the make test attempts to connect to MySQL. Here is what I get:

[root@mblaster Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2209]# make test make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/perl5/modules/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2209/mysql' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/perl5/modules/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2209/mysql' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/perl5/modules/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2209/mysql' PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -I../blib/arch -I../blib/lib -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.tt/00base............ok t/10dsnlist.........DBI->connect failed: Access denied for user: 'test@localhost' (Using password: YES) at t/10dsnlist.t line 45 Cannot connect: Access denied for user: 'test@localhost' (Using password: YES) Either your server is not up and running or you have no permissions for acessing the DSN DBI:mysql:database=test.

MySql is up and running just fine. test is a writeable database. from the command line I tried: mysql -u test@localhost This works just fine. I know I am missing something obvious... Are they refering to Unix system permissions? If so what file do I need to change?
