I'm having a problem installing mysql.

[code:1:9e3b7202e4]cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server && make install clean

I tried to upgrade my perl version to 5.8, but the error was the same. Where is the problem?

Have you updated your ports tree? You might give 4.1 a try, or even drop down to 3.23. Just a quick fix. You might also check out the various P5 libraries, and see if they fix it. One being p5-DBI-1.37, a dependency of DBD.

I've downloaded DBI-1.34.tar.gz and installed it and now all ok.Thanx.

you could also try using the pkg_add -r utility.. it tends to correct things that ports have difficulty w/ sometimes..

you might also wanna try running pkgdb -F
