Re: [ic] DBI/DBD

["Webmaster" <suppressed>]

Josh,

I used your simple perl script below to test for DBD and I got the "all
good" message; however, when I configure one of my dabases to use mysql and
restart IC I get the following message:  Using MySQL,
DSN=dbi:mysql:iscl...perl: can't resolve symbol 'mysql_init'

Should your test script also work for DBI?  I changed DBD to DBI and reran
and got an error message.  I also checked the INC array then then looked
into the perl system directories listed in INC and found directories for
both DBD & DBI, so it appears my sysadmin did install DBI.  But like I said
earlier, I still get the above message when I restart IC.  Any ideas?
