    My attempts at the manual installation of DBD::mysql (v2.9004 or
    2.9005_3) have been unsuccessful. I have searched and implemented the
    suggestions from other respondents and the search of mail list threads
    but with no success.

    OS: Mac OSX Server v10.3.6
    Perl 5.8.1
    MySQL 4.0.18

    If anyone has encountered and resolved this problem even with another
    module, I greatly appreciate any assistance.

    Here the output from the 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make Makefile'

    root# perl Makefile.PL
    I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

       cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/include/mysql -O3
    -fno-omit-frame-pointer -arch i386 -arch ppc -pipe
       libs (mysql_config) = -arch i386 -arch ppc -pipe
    -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm
       mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config
       nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
       nofoundrows (default ) = 0
       ssl (guessed ) = 0
       testdb (default ) = test
       testhost (default ) =
       testpassword (default ) =
       testsocket (default ) =
       testuser (default ) =

    To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
    'perldoc INSTALL'.
