Greetings

I am trying to install DBD::mysql on a quad dual-core Xeon system =
running RedHat Enterprise v4. I just installed mysql 5.0.21 from source =
and it passes all the self tests. I have installed DBI-1.5 and it passes =
all the tests. I can compile DBD::mysql (v 3.0002) but the test fails:

t/mysql2.............Mysql connect('database=3Dtest;host=3D','',...) =
failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket =
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at t/mysql2.t line 29

This is a puzzler, because the output from mysql_config is:

[root@HSV-PROBE DBD-mysql-3.0002]# mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz =
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r =
-lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.0.21]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz =
-lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]

/etc/my.cnf also points to /tmp/mysql.sock.

I tried hardwiring the socket in the make with perl Makefile.PL =
--testsocket=3D/tmp/mysql.sock and the tests _still_ try to use =
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.

Does anybody have any ideas why DBD::mysql is so fixated on the wrong =
socket path?

Thanks

Mike
