<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello Chris,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>check if the mysql-libraries are installed and where they are installed.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>maybe you have to extend your library-search-path either with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>variable or via ld.config (see man-page for crle)</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I admit that the following bit of information may not be relevant for some as it isn't really directly related to development of bugzilla but something I felt should be mentioned.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I just finished installing Bugzilla on Solaris 9. I had a few issues with installing the perl module DBD::Mysql. My problem was I installed the binary package for MySQL and did not compile from source(.so vs. .a libraries). Now everything but this one module(DBD::Mysql) worked great. My `make test` kept failing because it couldn't find certain libraries. Specifically mysqlclient.so could not be found. I am not a developer so I had a fun time figuring this out even though it says so right in the error message. I didn't know the difference between a shared object and a static one and now I do (:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I just thought perhaps it was worth mentioning in the install documentation available on the web (and all else if possible) that you need the shared objects for DBD::Mysql. I have read through the DBD::Mysql docs and nothing mentions needing the source code for mysql or the shared objects, but obviously to me they are needed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Anyways it is finally installed. I would be happy to provide some scripts as to the failings and to the successfull installs I have had if anyone would like. I saved them in a `script` session. I hope this gets put into the docs for future sys admins so they can install Bugzilla for their misc projects without this headache.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
