Mysql – Bugzilla can’t install DBD::thesql

bugzillaMySQLperlredhat

Im not at all familiar with anything that I am doing right now… so I am extremely nervous about it.

I have some websites running on my server using mysql.

I use mysql -v
and I get:

mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.77, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1

I use ./checksetup --check-modules as bugzilla documentation specifies.

I get the response that a number of modules need to be installed.

I have installed all these modules.

However when I try to install DBD::mysql I get an error.

/usr/bin/make --NOT OK

I have placed all the output into a text file, but did not want to post it here as it is very long.

Does anyone know how I can overcome this issue?

I am using Redhat Linux… and Im a NooB ;(

EDIT:
To run the mysql update I use this command:

/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl DBD::mysql

With regards to running CPAN, I am not sure, but these lines are appear in the output

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to use the distribution's native package management tools whenever you can. Assuming you're using a distro that is based off RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 or 6 (such as CentOS or Scientific linux among others), you should be able to do:

yum install perl-DBD-MySQL

(It's possible that there are reasons why you're not doing it this way; if there are, please tell us.)

If that completes successfully, then it's likely that your Bugzilla dependency will be satisfied.

Updating:

The version of the perl MySQL driver that is available in your yum repository is too old for Bugzilla, so there are 2 possible approaches:

  • get a new repository such as http://iuscommunity.org/Repos. The trouble with this is that it will likely mean upgrades/conflicts with the other mysql packages such as your mysql-server package.
  • get the perl MySQL driver some other way (ie build it yourself)

This is the easiest approach I can think of for the 2nd option. (As root, you might not need the --sudo). You will need to have development tools such as a compiler, make, etc. AND the mysql development package (mysql-devel) installed.

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
cpanm DBD::MySQL

If this is successful, bugzilla's dependency should be satisfied.
