Compiled Mysql

[Lance Levsen <l.levsen@printwest.com>]

Does anyone run slink with Perl and libdbd-mysql-perl with a locally 
compiled version of Mysql?

My problem is that perl refuses to connect. It know the mysql module 
is there:
 @driver_names=DBI->available_drivers; print @driver_names;

outputs:
ExamplePProxymSQLmysql

but:
my @data_sources=DBI->data_sources("mysql");print @data_sources;

outputs:
nothing.

I've compiled mysql with source defaults to the tables located in 
/usr/local/var/tables. The mysql user has read/write permissions to 
that directory. The question I have is does libdbd-mysql-perl expect 
anything that the deb package provides and my version may not?
