I finally found the fix and wanted to share in case others ran across this same problem.

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

After major problems getting DBD::MYSQL to finally install(reverting back to bugzilla 3.6.4 did the trick) and thinking everything was working great, I find that it’s not working after all. Even though all tests from testserver.pl pass with flying colors I’m getting errors trying to load the index page. Specifically, the error message is:

Software error:

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can’t load ‘/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle’ for module DBD::mysql: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib

I’m so close but every time I think I finally have this working, another problem comes up. I’m on Mac OS X server version 10.5.8. I do wonder if there is a problem with Apache2 running in 64bit mode vs. 32bit Perl and MySQL. If anyone has any ideas I would love to finally be done with this install. Thanks

@Jeremy
I got the same problem as you .
And My solution is a little different. Cause mysql in 10.6 server seems broken.
I d/l DBD::mysql, re-install mysql from official site. run Makefile.PL with parameter
–mysql_config /usr/local/mysql
don’t have to deal with the Makefile manually.

A quick tip incase someone runs in to this too. Perl could not find the mysql header files (i.e mysql.h) on my installation.
I had to manually d/l DBD::mysql, run Makefile.PL, then vi Makefile to add the correct include path, which was /usr/local/include/mysql. There is a INC variable that had the path set at /usr/local/include
After doing this make and make install ran just fine. I spent hours beating my head against the wall on this one!

This was extremely helpful – clear, to the point and works.
Why can’t the bugzilla team do something like this in their kb/docs????
small detail: needed to install the dev. tools appropriate in order to be able to “make” (3.1.2 xcode works — I am not sure it is available at Apple since 10.6 uses a newer Xcode version)

Fantastic! Thank you! I had a lot of trouble getting this set up, but without this I really didn’t even know where to begin.

This is great! I’ve linked to it from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Mac_OS_X_installation .
