DBD run test failed

[elkok]

I install a new version of mysql under /home/mysql.

1. Install the DBI driver. At the end of installation message. It says "found multiple drivers on path... & ..."

2. Install the DBD(2.0.1028). Due to my pc have pre-existing Mysql came with RedHat package. The DBD find the --cflas & libs with default path which is NOT the desired path.

3. perl Makefile.PL --cflags=/home/mysql/include --libs=/home/mysql/libs/mysqlclient.so

4. Then When I run the "make test". It almost failed for All the test.

May I know where is going wrong ?

Thx.

Best regards.

A few things:

After you installed the new mysql, did you start it?

Did you change the default password and not tell the DBD installation what it was?

I beleive the tests use the 'test' database of mysql, is this still there and accessable?

Show us what the failures were, paste the output of the 'make test' here so we can get more details.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I don't have internet access at home. If I capture the errors messages into the diskette and bring it to office to upload. Sinc I saved the disk data under LINUX file system, the WIN O.S can't read the Diskette data. May I know how am i resolve this problem?

Many Thanks

Just use a DOS formatted disk, mounted (or use the 'mcopy' tools). should work fine to transfer files between your win/linux system via floppy..
