    I am unable to successfully install the DBD::mysql (2.9004) module on a
    Mac OSX Server Panther:10.3.6)

    Using either:

            cpan
            install DBD::mysql

    OR

            perl -MCPAN -e shell
            install DBD::mysql

    OR

            perl Makefile.PL
            make test
            make install

    I get the same result during Makefile:

            .
            .
            .
            Checking if your kit is complete...
            Looks good
            Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-arch'
            Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: 'i386'
            Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-arch'
            Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: 'ppc'
            Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-pipe'
            Using DBI 1.45 (for perl 5.008001 on darwin-thread-multi-2level)
    installed in /Library/Perl/5.8.1/ darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBI/
            Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql

    Then the make fails and reports this:

            cc -c -I/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBI/
    -I/usr/include/mysql -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -arch i386 -arch ppc
    -pipe -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"
    dbdimp.c
    cc: cannot read specs file for arch `i386'
    gnumake: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1

    I searched and found an earlier thread but it did not offer a
    successful solution.

    Can anyone point me to a solution?

    Jeff
