perl DBD::mysql under cygwin question

[fungazid fungazid]

Hello the cygwin people,

I decided to use cygwin because I'm working with
biological packages that run on linux unix, and I work
mainly on windows. I have only little experience with
linux\unix.

I installed cygwin on my windows xp recently, with all
modules. I had no problems with running perl scripts
under cygwin, and installing perl modules like
bioperl.
  Â 
Then I tried to install DBD::mysql. 
ccording to the instructions I have to first download
mysql linux source, to compile it and install it
under cygwin. here are the instruction -
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod

I followed them but 'make install' for mysql gave
errors. 
  Â 
I used mysql source "Compressed GNU TAR archive
(tar.gz)" here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html
  Â 
so: is it the right version ? 
maybe I missed other things ? 
  Â 
I would be grateful for your help
  Â 
  Avi
