Re: Problem with DBI-1.45

Hi Peter, I've tried all you suggested but still
cannot find where mysql_config is. 

I'm using SuSe and it does include mysql. However, 
I've reinstalled mysql using the following rpm files
from the official website:

MySQL-client-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-4.0.22-0.i386.rpm

So how come I still don't have mysql_config?
