Orthomcl install schema error

Hi all!

I'm trying to run Orthomcl, I got to step 4 ( http://orthomcl.org/common/downloads/software/v2.0/UserGuide.txt ) however running orthomclInstallSchema keeps resulting in an error for me. Below is my code and error message:

orthomclInstallSchema my_orthomcl_dir/orthomcl.config my_orthomcl_dir/install_schema.log

Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DBD::mysql module)

Here is my orthomcl.config file:

dbVendor=mysql 
dbConnectString=dbi:mysql:mmax_orthomcl
dbLogin=mmax
dbPassword=PASSWORD
similarSequencesTable=SimilarSequences
orthologTable=Ortholog
inParalogTable=InParalog
coOrthologTable=CoOrtholog
interTaxonMatchView=InterTaxonMatch
percentMatchCutoff=50
evalueExponentCutoff=-3
oracleIndexTblSpc=NONE

I tried manually installing DBD::mysql using code below, and I get another error about Devel::CheckLib

[DBD-mysql-4.050]$ perl Makefile.PL

Can't locate Devel/CheckLib.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Devel::CheckLib module)

Has anyone encountered this when trying to run Orthomcl? any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Did you try installing DBD::mysql with cpan (or cpanm)?

I just tried that, however I still get an error (but now it's a different error):

$ orthomclInstallSchema my_orthomcl_dir/orthomcl.config my_orthomcl_dir/install_schema.log

can't find property dbname in config file

my config file is posted above, and when i go into mysql, I can see the database that I created:

mysql> SHOW DATABASES;

+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mmax_orthomcl     |
+--------------------+
