Hello all,

I am tryin to connect to my mysql server from a client machine. I using the
Perl DBI module.
I realised the odbc driver wasnt installed on the client machine.

Can anybody give me a quick breakdown of things i need to install to get the
odbc working.
I am working on a redhat linux machine (RHEL4.1)

You just need the DBD::mysql module on the client. Why do you want ODBC?

Re: odbc installation

Hi Daniel,

First of all, i finally got the DBD::mysql to install via a force
installation.
Earlier it was giving make errors since the test scripts were failing. I
installed mysql-devel, mysql client but still could not get the DBD:;mysql
to install.
Then i just did a force install...and now i can make the server connection
thru my perl script

Thanks for your reply:)

Kiran
