MySQL Driver Problem?

2025-04-03

I use a software known as Movable Type for blogging purposes. It uses an SQL backend. All along it worked fine until yesterday when I got this error upon accessing http://jieming.nanwani.net/mt/mt.cgi

An error occurred: install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at (eval 4) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at /home/nanwani/public_html/jieming/mt/lib/MT/ObjectDriver/DBI/mysql.pm line 48

I have no idea what that's about. I use MySQL on another site of mine and it works fine.. This problem just cropped up suddenly. Anyone knows a fix to this? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
