The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to install DBD::mysql perl package on Ubuntu
Tags: perl, DBD::mysql, Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem to contain the path to mysql_config
I am trying to install perl's DBD::mysql package with cpan > install DBD::mysql, after successfully installing mysql in an Ubuntu machine, but cpan barks complaining about "mysql_config", a file that that seems missing, and the installation is aborted with the messages:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!
Can't exec "mysql_config": No existe el fichero ó directorio at Makefile.PL line 466.

Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use

  perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-I<dir>

to set this directory. For details see the INSTALL.html file,
section "C Compiler flags" or type

  perl Makefile.PL --help
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::DBD::mysql had
installation problems:
  DBI DBD::mysql
--------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently, "mysql_config" should have been previously created by another package, because it does not exist in any place (locate mysql_config yields 0 results). The process should be as simple as typing install DBD::mysql in cpan, but some piece seems to be missing. Any hint?

DBI was successfully installed, though.

You need to install the development-tools of mysql to create those perl-files.
As root execute something like:
apt-get install libmysqlclient12-dev libmysqlclient12

You are great! Your solution worked, although I needed to replace the version with a later one, namely:

    apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

Also, version 15 already contains the second package (libmysqlclient), therefore only the dev package is required to be installed.

This was my first question as a trial user, but your reply convinced me to confirm the subscription. This answer is worth a subscription. Many thanks!
