Why and how to solve this? > 2. What does the "emulation" mean? When you install the DBD perl module for mysql, it asks you whether you want to "emulate" an older mysql interface (I think). The default is not to, but Bugzilla needs this. I'm not sure you can get the proper setup with an RPM--but installing the module by hand is not difficult. See http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local//modules/by-module/Msql/ and grap the latest "modules" file. Then gunzip it, and untar it, and read the README file. That should fix this. Hope that helps. Dan ===
