Ah!!! there in may lie a clue to the problem. II was not able to even
FIND mysql_config. I tried copying my my.cnf file to mysql_config in the
build directory. That didn't work. So I finally manually defined all the
variables with commandline switches (as defined by 'perl Makefile.PL --help').
By the way, THANKS VERY MUCH for getting back to me. I had given up on
this group!
