Installing DBD::mysql on Panther Server

I have seen on Mac OS X Hints, and various other places, a lot of trouble getting DBD::mysql installed. Here is how to install it on Mac OS X Server v10.3.3.

  1. A previous hint explained how to update the config.pm file. Follow the steps in that hint.

  2. Download and compile DBI-1.42.tar

  3. Downloaded DBD-mysql-2.9003

  4. Extract it and change into the created directory.

  5. Run perl Makefile.PL

  6. Using BBEdit, edit out the -arch i386 entries in Makefile

  7. Then run make and make install
