Type ulong not defined on MacOS X 10.4.8 for DBD::MySQL 4.00

Running [/Users/jleffler/perl/v5.8.8/bin/perl
/Users/jleffler/perl/v5.8.8/bin/cpanp-run-perl Makefile.PL ]...
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include -fno-common
embedded (mysql_config) =
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient
-lz -lm
mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testsocket (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Do you need any help identifying which header should be used to get
'ulong' defined? It isn't immediately obvious to me:

$ grep -l ulong /usr/include/*.h /usr/include/*/*.h
/usr/include/slapi-plugin.h
/usr/include/i386/types.h
/usr/include/openssl/x509v3.h
/usr/include/php/acconfig.h
/usr/include/ppc/types.h
/usr/include/tidy/fileio.h
/usr/include/tidy/platform.h
/usr/include/tidy/tidy.h

Jonathan,

This is a problem with the client library that seems to expose itself on
OS X and BSD systems, fixed in 5.0.26. I have no problem with 5.0.34 on
my Mac.

Kind regards,

Patrick
