Good morning.

When I tried to make DBD::mysql on my Dell Precision workstation
running:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.21-20.EL #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 20:34:58 EDT
2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And mysql server version: 4.0.21-standard

I get the following error:

cc -c -I/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/auto/DBI/ -I/usr/local/include
-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBUGGING

mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so -L/usr/local/lib
-lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32S can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.a: could not read symbols: Bad value


Is this caused by the 64 bit nature of my system? How do I recompile
libmysqlclient.a(???) with the -fPIC switch? Is there an RPM version of
this that will run with Red Hat Enterprise linux?

Thanks for any help you can provide and have a great day.

I do not know this from Linux, but it sounds quite similar to the
problems with mixed binaries known from Solaris or HP/UX. Recommended
solutions is to forgen binary RPM's. Use source RPM's, and compile
everything (MySQL, Perl, DBI, and DBD::mysql) for yourself.
