Contributions to making it easier are of course welcome, but I don't see anything here that we can use. As a general rule, you should build from source if you're happy to do that. Otherwise, you install a package from your operating system (or distro, in the case of Linux). Choice is good! > New modules SHOULD now use these APIs > for all SQL database operations.

Or are you on the team for one of the scripting languages? > What follows is my route to successfully install mysql dbd - > overcoming typos, bugs, and so on in the process. > However, the light of day is yet to be reached. Your account seems to boil down to a call for better packaging, and we could use some expertise in that area. But most end-users who don't want to concern themselves with that will use their distro's packages, so (arguably) that's what really matters. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
