DBD::mysql installation Error

Hello,

I am installing DBD::mysql 2.9002 in my Suse Linux 8.2 system
I even tried with DBD::mysql 2.9003.
But I get the following error.
How ca nI proceed to get rid of the error and install the same.


bugzilla:~/PerlModules/DBD-mysql-2.9002 # perl Makefile.PL
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I'/usr/include/mysql'
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

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

An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error
message seems to indicate that you don't have a libz.a, libgz.a,
libz.so or libgz.so. This is typically resolved by:

1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list
by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL".
2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel
3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list

Msql-Mysql-modules@lists.mysql.com

For further hints, see INSTALL.html, section Linker flags.
