can"t install DBD::mysql

Hi,
I've been trying to install DBD::mysql on SUSE 8.1.
I run "perl Makefile.PL" then "make"
make gets to
"chmod: failed to get attributes of 'blib/arch/aaut/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'"
and fails.
There is no mysql.so anywhere on my system. I googled and found somethin=
g
on the MYSQL site that said the problem was perl couldn/t locate
libmysqlclient.so. I do have this file and I tried all the suggestions M=
YSQL
offered: add location of libmysqlclient.so to path, add path to LD_RUN_P=
ATH,
compile perl Makefile.PL -static -config. But install still fails.

I can find some copies of mysql.so on the net but they all seem to be pa=
rt
of packagesvfor older versions of RedHat and I don't want to load old o=
ver
newer.

All the other mysql stuff seems to be ok.

Can anyone help? Has anyone installed the DBD::mysql driver on SUSE 8.1?

Thanks,
Dave Driscoll

AFAIK SuSE comes with a precompiled version of DBD::mysql.
See http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.1020.r eadme:

SuSE Linux 7.2 (you may prefer yast)

rpm -i mysql mysql-client mysql-devel mysql-shared
rpm -i perl-DBI
rpm -i perl-Msql-Mysql-modules

No clue what's wrong without a complete log of "perl Makefile.PL",
"make" and "make test".
