Perl DBD mysql /usr/bin/ld: Can't find library: "z"

[BenIsCool]

Hello,

pa-risc hpux 11.11

I am trying to install dbd mysql

when I do a make it comes back with:

Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql ()
chmod 644 mysql.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.sl
LD_RUN_PATH="/opt/iexpress/mysql/lib/mysql:/usr/local/lib:/opt/openssl/lib" /usr/bin/perl myld /usr/bin/ld -b +vnocompatwarnings dbdimp.o mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.sl \
-L/opt/iexpress/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lnsl -lm -L/opt/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto \

/usr/bin/ld: Can't find library: "z"
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.



Can anyone help me?

Thank you
Ben

Hi,
Not sure at all but perhaps an idea about perl, look at this thread. Maybe your problem is about libz.a with perl and mysql ...

Hello,

Thank you.

I am not sure if this is the right thing to do but it seemed to work:

I edited the Makefile and added a -L to look in the lib directory. I seems like the variable LD_RUN_PATH was not being recognized by ld.
