Im having problems getting this thing to install,
I'm definitly no expert at installations on unix machines
so please forgive any stupid questions.

Im trying to install Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2200 on Solaris2.7
using gcc version 2.8.1

Perl is perl 5.005_03
DBI is DBI-1.10
Data-ShowTable is Data-ShowTable-3.3
mSQL is mSQL 2.0.3

Ive included the results of perl -V below,
anyways first I installed msql then DBI
then Data-ShowTable then I tried installing
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2200

make seems to go ok but I get this result on
every test

t/00base............install_driver(mSQL) failed: Can't load
'../blib/arch/auto/D
BD/mSQL/mSQL.so' for module DBD::mSQL: ld.so.1: /usr/bin/perl: fatal:
relocation
 error: file ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mSQL/mSQL.so: symbol msqlErrMsg:
referenced s
ymbol not found at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line
169.

I see something similar in the readme talking about  known problems
but it is talking about Mysql I didnt know if it applied but I tried
using

gcc --print-libgcc-file and it gave the following
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.8.1/libgcc.a

my LD_RUNPATH line looked like this

LD_RUN_PATH="/lib" gcc -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mSQL/mSQL.so -R/lib -G
-L/usr/local/lib  dbdimp.o  mSQL.o -L/usr/local/Hughes/lib
-L/usr/local/Hughes/lib/libmsql.a -R/usr/local/Hughes/lib/libmsql.a
-lm

I tried appending
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.8.1 -lgcc

but it didnt help any,  I thought maybe my old version of
perl was compiled with a diferent compiler so I upgraded
to perl 5.005_03 last night then tried the entire process
again so now I know that perl, msql, dbi, Data-ShowTable,
have all been compiled using gcc

Any Help would be greatly appreciated, as I would really
like to learn how to use mSQL. please let me know if there
is anything else that would help diagnose this problem.
