Trouble installing DBD::mysql under macOS Mojave

Question

Can't install DBD::mysql under macOS Mojave with perl v5.18.2 MySQL Community Server 8.0.13 is installed from DMG from the official site.

Here is the installation log via cpan:

Checking if libs are available for compiling...
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib

Swears at the lack of libraries, although they are:

What do you advise ?

Answer 1

I had a problem installing DBD::mysql on Mojave 10.14. Followed the instructions in this link: https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/commit/00806bc46fe23a862a325d19cba07c239b401def

first try

brew install openssl mysql-connector-c

this installs but running

cpan install DBD::mysql 

fails because the -l file designation is empty shown in the output line:

libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.11/lib -l

editing the

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.11/bin/mysql_config line #114

and change

libs="$libs -l"  to libs="$libs -lmysqlclient"

then run:

cpan install DBD::mysql

is joy.
