I think the MYSQL service is not running on your system, Just execute the below commands service mysqld restart I think this might solve your problem Oh yes MySQL was running when I have tried to install DBD::mysql. I was able to connect to it using "mysql" command. But it was using /tmp/mysql.sock socket defined in my.cnf. However, the "make test" command told that it cannot connect to MySQL using /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock socket. I don't know how I can change the location of the socket used by DBD::mysql tests. Isn't taken from my.cnf? Teddy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
