install_driver(mysql) failed Error

[Zoom1234]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to local mysql server through a perl script but getting following error

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/.../mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: ld.so.1: perl5.8.0: fatal: libmysqlclient.so.10: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/../sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at (eval 1) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
 at test.pl line 16

I searched for mysql.so and tried to push that path in @INC, but of no use.

Can some one guide me how to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you actually need to install DBD::mysql. Just read perlmodinstall for information on how to install cpan modules.

Thanks for the input Miller. I have asked my System Admin to check if the library is installed.
