DBD::mysql installation error on trustix linux

Hi,

I have downloaded the DBD-mysql-3.0002.tar.gz and I ran perl Makefile.PL which went through but then I tried make and it failed.Then I am tried install the DBD:mysql module using -

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "DBD::mysql"'

Both the times I get the same error below:-

Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql()

Chmod 644 mysql.bs

rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql.mysql.so

LD_RUN_PATH=3D3D"" /usr/bin/perl5.8.5 myld gcc -shared -L /usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -o /blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so -L -------------some path---

/usr/bin/ld: line 1 syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
/usr/bin/ld: line 1: '! < arch > '
collect2 : ld returned 2 exit status

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

Any ideas???
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi,
Actually when i try to run "make" to install anything i get the same error.

/usr/bin/ld: line 1 syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
/usr/bin/ld: line 1: '! < arch > '
collect2 : ld returned 2 exit status

I guess there is something really "fishy" which i am not able to catch. I have really got tired of seeing it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sai.

Did you create these files under Windows? Unix isn't very tolerant of the extra end-of-line character (^M) that Windows text files uses. Java's text I/O services will accept it and throw it away, but most native Unix apps will get annoyed.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your help. As i had one last option i resorted to it. I formatted and reinstalled everything and it worked fine.
Thanks,
Sai.
