There's this...

There's another "Debian howto" linked from that page. It may or may not
be relevant. In my case I got DBD4 to fire up at least, after installing
two dependencies... libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 and libxft1. That's on an up
to date Edgy box with quite a bit of extra development stuff installed.

I could not connect to either of my two MySQL5 servers though, or even
keep it from core dumping when opening one of its "examples". That's
under either libmysqlclient15. or libmysqlclient14. I gave up rather
than trying to install libmysqlclient12 or 10 which are both in the
Universe repo if memory serves, so you may have better results if
you're willing to go that extra mile and fix up the libmysqlclient.so
symlink in ./Liblinux to point to one of those versions.

Best of luck. ;)
