This looks all fine to me. The make check implementation of libdbi
0.6.7 is actually intended to be run on an existing database, so
you've done the right thing. The upcoming versions of libdbi and
libdbi-drivers will have an extended make check that creates it's own
database.

FYI: all that has happened until here is a call to dbi_initialize()
which essentially allocates some memory for the infrastructure and
creates a list of available drivers. All that can go wrong at this
point is a wrong directory parameter. This should either be NULL (the
default) or the directory that contains the libdbi drivers. Does it
help to start refdbd with the "-Y /usr/local/lib/dbd" option?

All that happens here is a call to dbi_conn_new(), using "mysql" as
the log shows. libdbi basically tries to find a driver with the
internal name "mysql" in the list of the available drivers. If that's
missing, you're screwed (but your other data clearly shows it's
there). As you can see, there is no interaction with the database
server yet.

Except trying the -Y switch, I'm basically at a loss. I won't be able
to figure this out without having access to a box where this error
occurs. If the -Y switch doesn't help, is there any way to provide a
ssh account to do some testing on the affected box? Or would you be
willing to help out and run modified versions of libdbi and refdbd
that provide additional debug output?

regards,
Markus
