The --mysql_config option should NOT specify your MySQL configuration
file; rather, if you want to use it at all, you should point it at
a file named "mysql_config", which is most likely in your /usr/bin
directory.  The mysql_config file is a helper program that displays
the flags and paths for the compiler and linker, so that you don't
really need to specify --cflags, --libs, and stuff.  In short, your
configuration line should be something more like:

sudo perl Makefile.PL  --testdb=test --testuser=root
--testpassword=osloadmin --testhost=localhost
--mysql_config="/usr/bin/mysql_config"

Of course, that's assuming your mysql_config helper is really installed
in /usr/bin.


In your case, most of the error messages you're seeing are there because
DBD-mysql's Makefile.PL has tried to run your config file as a shell
script :)

This one, however, might be more fun than it looks like, but there's no
way to be certain whether it's a real one or it's there simply because
Makefile.PL has not managed to configure itself properly.

Can you try running Makefile.PL with the proper value for --mysql-config
and see if it helps?

G'luck,
Peter
