Mysql and Perl Library

[jdaniels]

Hi,

I am trying to 'make' (as in Perl Make) the DBD-mysql library on my windows. The manual instructs me to do the following:

ppm

Once the PPM (kind of a dselect / RPM type program) is running, I type:

install DBI

no problem - DBI installed, but when I type the next thing:

install DBD-mysql

I receive the following error:

'Error installing package DBD-mysql: read a PPD for DBD-mysql but it is not intended for this build of PERL (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread'

OK, this tells me I need a dfferent version of the DBD-mysql package, specifically one which is for Windows platforms - thing is, that is what the one I'm using is (from CPAN).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonathan Daniels
