[summary] Re: Make test failure - DBD-mysql-2.9002 - Mac OS X 10.2.8

[David Graham]

John provided a number of useful suggestions, but were unnecessary in 
my case. I had just installed everything from scratch in the default 
locations, including MySQL (no password set) just to make it easier. He 
also suggested looking at the source to see what the comments say, but 
it was beyond me as I'm completely new to Perl/MySQL/etc.

In the end, I decided to take Jochen's advice and simply "go on." 
Everything appears to be fine and I have Bugzilla up and running 
perfectly. Of course, tomorrow I'm upgrading to Panther (e.g., OS X 
10.3) and I'll probably have to go through this process once again. I 
guess that's the best way for us newbie's to learn, right?

Thanks to John and Jochen for their assistance!

- Dave
