Getting Perl DBD::mysql working on OS X 10.7?
- by Bart B
I can't seem to get Perl & MySQL to talk to each other on OS X 10.7 Lion.
I did all the installs by the book, I used Oracle's PKG installer for the latest MySQL Community Server, and I installed DBI and DBD::mysql via CPAN. There were not problems at all during the install, but, when I try to USE DBD::mysql to connect to my local DB server I get the following error:
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle' for module DBD::mysql: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib

Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
After a lot of googling all I could find were suggested hacks, so I gave this one a go: http://arkoftech.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/fixing-dbdmysql-for-mysql-5-5-89-under-macos-10-6-x/
I had to update some of the paths in the instructions since on Lion it's Perl 5.12 not 5.10.
After doing that I got a new error:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_init

Trace/BPT trap: 5
There must be a simple way to get MySQL & Perl working on OS X? - HELP!
