Apologies if this has been covered before but I've searched the list archive/google and don't seem to have found anyone with this problem before…

My main problem is that when I access installer.pl or index.pl  I get the following error:

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i486-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i486-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 229, <PRODUCT> line 4.
 at (eval 22) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 22) line 3, <PRODUCT> line 4.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
 at /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/System/DB.pm line 191

I'm not sure if thisis revelevant but I also go the following output when I ran otrs.checkModules

                  CGI ... ok
          Date::Pcalc ... ok
                  DBI ... ok
           DBD::mysql ... not installed! (required - use "perl -MCPAN -e shell;")

      GD::Text::Align ... not installed! (for stats - not required)
          XML::Parser ... not installed! (required for strong xml use - not required!)

Using CPAN for the "missing" modules indicates that they are installed so perhaps the problem is due to paths?

I'm installing OTRS from source.

Grateful for any suggestions
