PLEASE NOTE:


For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the

database user 'root' can connect to your MySQL server

and has the proper privileges that these tests require such

as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure'

as well as others.


mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified by 's3kr1t';


You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with:


perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username


I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:


cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -g -fno-common -fno-strict-aliasing -arch x86_64

embedded (mysql_config) =

libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lpthread

mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config

nocatchstderr (default ) = 0

nofoundrows (default ) = 0

ssl (guessed ) = 0

testdb (default ) = test

testhost (default ) =

testpassword (default ) =

testsocket (default ) =

testuser (guessed ) = root


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

'perldoc INSTALL'.


Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

I also know that root can access the database and there is a table test. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now, here is the long description:


MySQL and DBD::MySQLinstallation on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (64-bit)

Go for 64-bit! This is the right way to go when you have Snow Leopard.


Step 1: Install MySQL 64-bit version

Download the MySQL Community Server from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads

Latest stable MySQL version is 5.5.13. I recommend to use the DMG package (mysql-5.5.13-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg).

It will install to /usr/local directory by default. Also install the startup items and prefPane programs that come with the package. You can then activate/deactivate the MySQL server using the System Preferences application.


Step 2: Configure MySQL

Assign a password for database user 'root'. Open the Unix shell and enter:

> PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

> mysqladmin -u root password NEW_ROOT_PASSWORD

You can then create new users, databases and tables either using the mysql command or using browser-based tools such as phpMyAdmin or SQLbuddy.


Step 3: Install DBD::MySQL

Open the Unix shell and enter the following commands:

First you may want to check your perl version:

> perl -v

You should have perl version 5.10.0.


Then get the DBD module from CPAN:

> perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'

cpan[1]> get DBD::mysql

cpan[2]> exit

> cd ~/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-5*/

> perl Makefile.PL--testuser='mysql_user_name' --testpassword='mysql_passwd'

Note: use mysql_user_name and mysql_paasword of a user that you created in step 2


> make

Unfortunately, this is where things are not as straight-forward and you may encounter one of the following problems:

(1) if you see a "make: command not found" error then make is not installed on your Mac and you need to install the Xcode developer tools. It's on one of the DVDs that shipped with your Mac.

(2) if make fails with an "make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 2" error, you need to edit the Makefile. Remove all occurrences of '-arch ppc', save the Makefile and then call make again.

(3) if make fails with an "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient" error, you can solve the problem by placing a symbolic link as follows:

> cd /usr/local/lib

> sudo ln -s/usr/local/mysql/lib/*.dylib .

> make


If make runs successfully, continue with:

> make test

It should say all test successful.


Finally install the DBD::MySQL package for which you need your Mac OS X root password (don't confuse it with the MySQL root password!):

> sudo make install

Installation is done!


Step 4: you can now test your Perl DBI scripts

Orpheus,


Thank you so much. Did the above and it worked. Thanks again.


Below are a couple minor changes I made to instructions above to get mine to work.



First:

DBD::mysql from cpan was version 4.xxxxx so I had to change the dir after exiting cpan with the below command.


cd ~/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4*/


not the cd ~/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-5*/ listed above.


Second:

After removing all mentions of -arch ppc from the make file I was able to run the make with out errors, however when I ran make test I got the "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient" error. So I did the ln command, but I had to alter it a bit to get it to work. Below is what I used.


sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.5.12-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/*.dylib .


One other thing that I wanted to mention is that the . at the end is very important. I did not know that and caused me some problems.


So two minor changes that may help someone else.


Again thanks orpheus this was a life savor for me.

This great post from orpheus2006 solved our problems as well, a year later. Mountain Lion broke our MySQL installation badly. We upgraded to the latest version, which was a bit of a nightmare in itself, but even after geting that straightened out we could not get mysql.pm to install successfully. Posts from Leopard/Snow Leopard days suggested we needed to be running the 32-bit version of MySQL which, aside from the awful prospect of having to undo everything we'd done to get the latest 64-bit version running, just sounded nuts. Our problem was the "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient" error and orpheus2006's solution nailed it. Many thanks for your help!


Small omission in the instructions in step (3) — you of course need to cd back to the relevant .cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.* dir before issuing the "make" command. And small typo: the package is DBD::mysql not DBD::MySQL.

My version of DBD:mysql trouble:


First of all, I used cpan download the DBD:mysql, and did make, make test and make install. cpan says my DBD:mysql is up to the date but my perl script keep telling me DBD:mysql is not installed.


Second of all, during any make, I saw lots "format not a string literal and no format arguments" warnings that really make me think the build/installation is broken even it says successful


Third of all, If I relocate mysql data directory (specify datadir in /etc/my.cnf), make test will go wrong

<====

.....ok

t/71impdata.................ok

DBD::mysql::db do failed: Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably corrupted at t/80procs.t line 41.

But if I restart mysql with default datadir location, make test will go through ok:

t/86_bug_36972..............ok

All tests successful, 1 test skipped.

Files=40, Tests=890, 16 wallclock secs ( 7.95 cusr + 1.41 csys = 9.36 CPU)

========>


After all, what cpan says DBD:mysql is ok but real perl scripts say it not OK?



BTW, I'm still using snow leopard with its built-in perl 5.10.0, plus mysql 5.5.27, all of 64bit
