Installing DBD::mysql on Mavericks

Posted on by Simon

3 years ago, I posted about getting DBD::mysql to build on OSX 10.6 – it seems the same thing works on Mavericks (10.9) as well!

#   Failed test 'use DBD::mysql;'

The version of MySQL has changed slightly (and hence the path used) but everything else is the same.

$ sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

$ otool -D `mdfind libmysqlclient.18.dylib`

DBD::mysql, MySQL and OS X Lion

Posted on by Simon

I downloaded and installed MySQL Community Server 5.5.15 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html

Using CPAN, I then tried to install DBD::mysql on a fresh install of OS X Lion and was presented with an error saying it was unable to load the library.

#     Error:  Can’t load ‘/private/var/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.019-H1RD6j/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle’ for module DBD::mysql: dlopen(/private/var/root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.019-H1RD6j/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
