Remember DBD::mysql trouble? well you really have go to deep, like Re: issues with DBD::mysql on mac, dyld: lazy symbol binding failed (was MAC OS 10.6 upgrade breaks DBD:mysql), Getting DBD-mysql to work with Mac OS X Lion, Re: libwww-perl fails, Re^2: Error with DynaLoader.pm and DBD::mysql, Re^2: Fuse and fuse_loop, Re^2: possible to bake LD_LIBRARY_PATH in perl(1)?, Re: DBD-mysql: dyld error ...

Its always

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" , use ldd or otool on the .bundle/.dylib/.so to figure out what LD_LIBRARY_PATH you need to add

Or link against the 32bit libmysql for 32bit perl, or 64bit mysql for 64bit perl

Or export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=no ? export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes ? then recompile

Or compile mysql client libraries yourself ( sh configure ... ), not use "macports" or "fink" .. whatever apple-ness binaries you're using, or get newer binaries ...

Or uninstall mysql-dev with fink and then install mysql15-dev (or whatever non-fink apple-ness binaries

Or compile mysql client libraries yourself using similar ccflags/ldflags/lddlflags as your perl ( or remove some --ppc flag that shouldn't be there )

Or use install_name_tool ... Problems installing DBD::mysql on OS X Snow Leopard, http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/README.OSX/Problems installing DBD::MySQL on OS X...: Apple Support Communities

Or a combination of one or more of these, or more basic, like non standard install paths needing INC=/LIBS= ... INSTALL.pod

Or even more basic, using the wrong shebang, path to perl, not having permissions to read mysql.bundle....

98/100 its basic path management, some $PATH some $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH , so try that first

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
