Problems Installing DBD::mysql

I am trying to install DBD::mysql on a server that doesn't have MySQL on
it at all. Currently I'm only accessing MySQL on another server using
PHP. But I need to write a Perl script to do some background stuff, and
I really don't want to install MySQL on this server.

So far I've used this command

perl Makefile.PL --testhost=www.server.com --testuser=user
--testpassword=password --cflags=-I/usr/local/include/mysql/
--libs="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql/"

And although it has errors about mysql-config, it seems to work. But
when I get to the make command I get errors. Is there any flags I need
to set like I did with the first command?

PS If I have to I'll install a MySQL client, but I can't find just that
at the MySQL website.

You need the MySQL client libraries, though. If you are using Linux,
look for a MySQL-client RPM, or something similar. Otherwise, you need
to get the MySQL sources and compile them with something like

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysqlclient-4.1.14 --without-server

Don't believe it. :-)

Re: Problems Installing DBD::mysql

I've searched everywhere for MySQL-client for FreeBSD and I can't find it.
