libmysqlclient.so.10

This probably pertains to your original post but here are the notes I 
made to get mySQL and DBI to work with YDL 2.3:

######
MySQL
######

Installed the MySQL rpm from the install CD running sudo rpm --install 
/mnt/cdro
m/YellowDog/ppc/mysql*.rpm. Installed all three of the mysql rpms. Then 
I ran my
sql_install_db. This resulted in an error, in the mysqld.log, when I ran 
safe_my
sqld:

020202  09:40:09        mysqld started
020202  09:40:09        /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: 
'./mysql/host.frm'
  ( errno: 13)
020202  09:40:09        mysqld ended

After palying around with data paths and permissions I found out that 
the proper
  ownership and group was not root but mysql, mine were root after doing 
the inst
all. By doing:

chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql

I was able to set group and ownserhip correctly, ran safe_myslqd and 
started the server.

############
DBI and DBD
############

The perl modules for DBI and DBD had to be downloaded and installed from 
cpan.org. This was a simple and painless process. After downloading the 
tar.gz files uncompress them, unpack them cd into the new directories 
and then run:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Hope this helps
Joe
