Description:
I am not able to successfuly load the DBD:mysql module with MySQL: 5.0.45. There seems to be some sort of discrepancy between where DBD:mysql looks for dynamic libraries and where mysql_config reports them to be. I have tried to resolve this conflict in two different ways 1) manually specifying correct paths using --cflags and --libs options on the command line for the perl Makefile.PL 2) adding soft links to the dynamic library paths in places where I think DBD:mysql is looking for them. Neither of these methods has been successful. I desperately need to be able to install and run this DBD module with MySQL on this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The version of MySQL I am using was a pre-compiled binary. The authors of DBD:mysql suggest that there may be issues if different compiler versions are used for MySQL and DBD:mysql. Is this true? I have read (I think in some of the MySQL documentation) that the pre-compiled MySQL binaries are usually more efficient than I might be able to build myself, being relatively inexperienced at this. I have no idea how the MySQL compilation for OSX was done, so I don't know if this is a factor in the problem I'm having.
Details of the installation follow. Thanks for your help.

MySQL 5.0.45, Perl 5.8.6, DBI and are successfully installed on my MacbookPro (OSX 10.4.10). CPAN wasn't able handle installing DBD:mysql 4.005, so I downloaded it manually, and created a custom makefile as described at:
http://jayallen.org/journey/2006/04/dbd-mysql-build-problems-on-mac-book-pro
Paths in this makefile match mysql_config output. I verified by command line search that the headers and dynamic library files do truly exist in the directories indicated.
$ perl Makefile.PL \
--cflags="-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common" \
--libs="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm"

If I add a soft link to the library directory, either before or after creating the makefile and running make, this doesn't help, although it does change mysql_config output:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/ /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
$ mysql_config --cflags --libs

-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm
I tried ignoring the make test. make install ran without errors:
