DBI 1.43, mysql Ver 14.5 Distrib 4.1.3-beta, DBD 2.9004 Perl 5.8.1

Here's the first error:

/usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/typemap mysql.xs > mysql.xsc && mv mysql.xsc mysql.c Warning: duplicate function definition 'do' detected in mysql.xs, line 196 Warning: duplicate function definition 'rows' detected in mysql.xs, line 294 cc -c -I/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBI -I/usr/local/mysql/include -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -Os -DVERSION=\"2.9004\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.9004\" "-I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE" mysql.c mysql.xs: In function `XS_DBD__mysql__GetInfo_dbd_mysql_get_info': mysql.xs:359: error: `net_buffer_length' undeclared (first use in this function) mysql.xs:359: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mysql.xs:359: error: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [mysql.o] Error 1

mysql.h has: #if !defined(MYSQL_CLIENT) && !defined(MYSQL_SERVER) && !defined(EMBEDDED_LIBRARY) #define max_allowed_packet (*mysql_get_parameters()->p_max_allowed_packet) #define net_buffer_length (*mysql_get_parameters()->p_net_buffer_length) #endif

The conditional define is breaking the compile. Probably a poorly installed mysql, though I compared mysql.h on the mac to the same version on linux, and the conditional didn't include MYSQL_CLIENT.

I copied the net_buffer_length definition into constants.h, and it worked ok, until I ran into this:

LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" /usr/bin/perl myld MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -L/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.1.3-beta-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle] Error 255

The offender is the myld script, which fails on a non-zero return value from the system call - even though a value of 255 >>8 (as perl likes) should be zero. Not sure why the lower 8 bits aren't cleared, but removing the myld call from the makefile seemed to clear things up.

I've got it installed, and it connects to the db fine - haven't done any more testing, so I can't guarantee my workarounds are ok, so YMMV.
