trouble making DBD files for Perl

Hi,

I'm trying to do some mysql updates and queries from Perl. I have
installed the DBI module, which appeared to go OK, and am trying to do
the DBD one, but I get the messages included below. Not being a C
programmer, I do not understand what they mean or what to do for
corrective action. I would greatly appreciate any hints.

perl Makefile.PL
Which drivers do you want to install?

1) MySQL only
2) mSQL only (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)
3) MySQL and mSQL (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)

4) mSQL 1 and mSQL 2
5) MySQL, mSQL 1 and mSQL 2

Enter the appropriate number: [3] 1


Do you want to install the MysqlPerl emulation? You might keep your old
Mysql module (to be distinguished from DBD::mysql!) if you are concerned
about compatibility to existing applications! [y]
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgz
