Perl install DBD::mysql Fails

[richlich]

Trying to update DBD::mysql to version 4.0 from 3.007 (/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl DBD::mysql). Installation fails (make install). What follows is just the end of the output:

"dbdimp.c:4461: error: invalid lvalue in increment

make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1

Running make install

Can anyone help this Linux/Perl newbie?

Did you try getting it via yum or apt first?

Case closed. Was missing mysql-devel. Once that was installed, problem went away.
