[rt-users] database initialization error

[TeleMole]

thanks for the hint - the make test was of course failing completely -
more googling made it clear that I was not finding some libs during
the test.

I tried several methods including placing the
--libs=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib switch on the perl Makefile.PL - but
even this had no effect.

Eventually I foud a reference which is a little cheesy - but did the trick :

Quoted here : "That did it.  Just did "cp /usr/local/mysql/lib/*
/usr/lib/" and it worked
fine after that."

I did the same , then re-ran my make and my make test - and all was
well!  Just got my database initialized!  I hope this helps others
with this problem - though I am certain my mysql installation should
have been otherwise and this is why i ran into trouble in the first
place...

thanks again for putting me on track!

Sean
