Is the MySQL schema upgrade for the 3.8.x series absolutely critical?
The perl script provided with RT (upgrade-mysql-schema.pl) requires
DBD::mysql 4.
However, RHEL5 comes with DBD::mysql 3.
I’m having a heck of a time trying to get DBD::mysql4 to install on RHEL5.
What have others done to deal with this?

perl -MCPAN -e “install DBD::Mysql”
Perhaps?

It fails in all sorts of spectacular ways. I tried doing a manual
install, had trouble with that too. Since this step only needs to be
done once I’m just going to set up a “throw away” virtual machine and
force an RPM to install over the current version and use it to run the
script.

DBD::mysql building has a test suite that includes actual SQL queries, for
which it needs a database/user/pass to perform the tests. If it doesn’t
have them the tests fail. There’s a way to disable the database tests but I
forget what it is off the top of head.
