Re: [Fink-beginners] dbd-mysql-pm5100 installation problem

[PFudd <fi...@ch...>]

Hi..

I was having this problem, and I finally found the answer when I noticed
that there were perl cgi scripts successfully using DBD::mysql while I
was getting the '_mysql_init not found' error with the command line.

The problem is the environment variable VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT.
When it is set to 'yes', I get the error, but when it's unset or 'no',
everything works.  This variable is set in /sw/etc/profile.d/fink.sh and
fink.csh, and it's one of the few situations where a fink change affects
the rest of the operating system.

As for how to remedy the problem, I haven't figured that part out yet.
Do I have to rebuild fink from scratch in 64 bit mode?

Thanks!
