Hi,

Yesterday a wrote in the forum a message , there is a strange bug with the linker I didn't find connection with 64 bit or 32 bit version, all my version were 32 bit. Anyway I find a very simple solution: download perl Binary for solaris from active state site (Active Perl) install it with pkgadd -d , link it to /usr/local/bin and use ppm to install a binary version of DBD::mysql, it's all. Now each module you want to install you download binary from ActiveState through ppm program. They don't have every module compiled for solaris but there are the most used. I hope someone will be able to find exactly what is wrong with DBD:mysql in perl for solaris, I lost a lot of time with this trouble.

Thanks David, I tried this also but no luck.

Hi, On solaris 8 (Sparc) I am trying to compile DBD::mysql since weeks but

no luck, tried all available suggestions but no luck, still getting same following error while "make test"

DBD-mysql-2.9004/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module

Any idea?

Hi Mohammad,

This could be caused by trying to use a 64bit mysql implementation and a

32bit perl setup. I had similar problems until I re-installed mysql as 32bit and then everything worked fine *Solaris 8 and 9).
