How to fix install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql in windows
The error message "install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql" typically occurs when the DBD::mysql Perl module is not properly installed or cannot find the required MySQL client libraries.
To fix this issue in Windows, you can follow these steps:
Make sure you have a working installation of Perl on your Windows system.
Install the DBD::mysql Perl module by running the following command:
arduinocpan DBD::mysql
This command will fetch and install the DBD::mysql module and its dependencies from the CPAN repository. Make sure you have an active internet connection for this step.
If the above command fails or you still encounter the same error, it may indicate that the required MySQL client libraries are not installed or not accessible by the Perl module.
Download the appropriate MySQL client libraries for your system from the MySQL website. Make sure you download the correct version that matches your Perl installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
Extract the downloaded libraries to a location on your system (e.g.,
C:\mysql-libs
).Set the
MYSQL_LIB
environment variable to point to the location of the MySQL client libraries. You can set this environment variable using the following command in the Command Prompt:arduinoset MYSQL_LIB=C:\mysql-libs
Try installing the DBD::mysql module again by running the
cpan DBD::mysql
command.If everything is set up correctly, the module installation should succeed without any errors.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the "install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql" error on Windows and successfully install and use the DBD::mysql Perl module.
