DBD::Mysql build errors

[Wittyname27]

Greetings,

I am attempting to compile and install (Via CPAN) the DBD::Mysql module. I am not having any luck and am hopeful that a kind soul could offer some advice.

When I attempt to build the module via CPAN I get the following errors (Truncated)

CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CA/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-3.0002.tar.gz

I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/include/mysql -I/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/include -L/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib
embedded (mysql_config) =
libs (mysql_config) = -L/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib -I/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/include -L/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib -lssl -lcrypto
mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 1
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testsocket (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-I/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/include'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient

The errors continue on and the compile errors out. Has anyone encountered this issue? I've searched through the previous posts on this BB and saw others with similar errors. I"ve tried the suggested fixes and none of them have been fruitful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
