Unable to install "Msql-Mysql-modules"

Hi.

I work with FC2, Perl v5.8.3, MySQL 3.23.58, and got installed
'Data-ShowTable-3.3' and 'DBI-1.48'.

I'm trying to install 'Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219', but get this error
message when 'make':
----------------------------------------

Any suggestion about what I am doing wrong?

Did you check that libmysqlclient.so.10 is installed on
your system?

Thank you very much, Chris. You pointed me the mistake. As usual, I
forgot
to check my dynamic linker:
-------------------------------
[root@server]# /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep libmysqlclient
(null)
------------------------------

Ok. I'm to find out where my libraries are:
--------------------------
[root@server]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I'/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql']
--libs [-L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient
-lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [3.23.58]
------------------------------

1) I added '/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
2) Just in case:
----------------
[root@server]# export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
---------------

Ok. It works.
