• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jakub Sadowski 2004-11-21 18:27:02 UTC]

When trying to start the zoneminder console it would fail, resulting in an error message in /var/log/zoneminder/zmpkg.log.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge and configure ZoneMinder
2. Go to the zoneminder console main page and click "Start"
3. View the contents of /var/log/zoneminder/zmpkg.log

Actual Results:  
Saw the following error in the log file:
Executing: /usr/bin/zmdc.pl check
Executing: /usr/bin/zmfix
Executing: /usr/bin/zmdc.pl status
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Proxy, Sponge.
 at /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl line 127

Expected Results:  
Zoneminder console should have started.

Emerged DBD-mysql and the problem was fixed.  DBD-mysql needs to be added as a
dependency for ZoneMinder!
