> So hopefully the OP can shed light on the topic, and answer the questions from my other post: "Did you install Perl from sources? No. I have Perl version 5.8.0 which was installed in the original installation. I'm running RedHat 9. >Is Perl installed?" and/or a new one, is the OP trying to install the Perl module(s) or just the MySQL packages? I'm trying to install the MySQL database itself. I downloaded the latest source RPM from www.samba.com and compiled it on my system. However, when I try to install it, it complains about perl(the) and perl(this) missing or unset or not compiled into perl. After the initial failure, this is what I've tried. I've uninstalled the original RPM and compiled Perl from source....result - same error. I've also installed all of the CPAN modules that came with the installation CDs with both the RPM installation and the one built from source...same error. I can install it with --nodeps since I'll most probably be developing PHP scripts to connect to MySQL anyway, but I'd really like to know what perl(this) and perl(the) stand for, as it usually tells you which package is missing when installing an RPM package.
