Problems Using the Perl DBI/DBD Interface /usr/bin/perl: can’t resolve symbol ’__divdi3’ Add  -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/... -lgcc  to the link command when the  mysql.so  library gets built (check the output from  make  for  mysql.so  when you compile the Perl client). The  -L  option should specify the path name of the directory where  libgcc.a  is located on your system. Another cause of this problem may be that Perl and MySQL are not both compiled with  gcc . In this case, you can solve the mismatch by compiling both with  gcc . 301
