error installing DBD::mysql

[manodrum@]

running FreeBSD 6 with Plesk 8.0.1

ran "install Bundle:BD::mysql" in cpan and got the following error:

Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 76.

Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!

Yeah I've had this fun. I ended up downloading DBD::mysql by hand and compiling from the command line. Whats happening is that because PSA installs Mysql in /usr/local/psa/mysql, the installer cannot find it. The location which can be specified as far as I know only by compiling DBD::mysql by hand and specifying the location of mysql_config which is /usr/local/psa/mysql/bin/mysql_config.

Another thing you can try is making a sym link to it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

Thanks,
James

ln -s /usr/local/psa/mysql/bin/mysql_config /usr/local/bin/
