Hi there, i have a little question concerning the installation of otrs. When trying to fulfil the dependency DBD::mysql by either perl -MCPAN -e shell; install DBD::mysql or by getting the sources by hand, doing a perl Makefile.PL make the compilation process fails with the following error msg: ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error message seems to indicate that you don't have a libz.a, libgz.a, libz.so or libgz.so. This is typically resolved by: 1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL". 2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel 3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list Msql-Mysql-modules@lists.mysql.com For further hints, see INSTALL.html, section Linker flags. make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- i tried installing the libz by hand, but that didnt work out at all. any suggestions on that? i am running suse 8.1 thanks in advance, with best regards Florian "bettmenn" Gattung
