I'm trying to install DBD::MySQL onto a SUSE Linux machine with the
2.4.19 kernel. I have perl 5.8.6 built for i686-linux and mysql Ver 14.7
Distribution 4.1.7 for pc-linux (i686). I have tried everything I can
find on this and other lists to try, and as far as I can tell I have
everything installed that I need. Here is what happens when I perl
Makefile.PL/make:

perl Makefile.PL
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
                                                                                                         
  cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/include/mysql -mcpu=i486
-fno-strength-reduce
  libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lcrypt
-lnsl -lm -lz -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_files
-lnss_dns -lresolv
  nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
  nofoundrows (default ) = 0
  ssl (guessed ) = 0
  testdb (default ) = test
  testhost (default ) =
  testpassword (default ) =
  testuser (default ) =
                                                                                                         
To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.
