Hi,
I am trying to install perl module DBD::mysql and don't know how to resolve the following:

[root@PS0814 DBD-mysql-4.005]# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant)

The symbol points to DBI. Perhaps that suggests it cannot find DBI?

I was suspecting it had something to do with mysql.so file. DBI module seems to be installed properly:

[yogeshs@PS0814 ~]$ perl -e "use DBI;"
[yogeshs@PS0814 ~]$

I will check tomorrow.
