Percona toolkit - Unable to connect to Mysqldb - MAC

Hi,

I am unable to run percona toolkit in mac. I am getting the following error.

Cannot connect to MySQL: Cannot connect to MySQL because the Perl DBD::mysql module is not installed or not found. Run ‘perl -MDBD::mysql’ to see the directories that Perl searches for DBD::mysql. If DBD::mysql is not installed, try:
Debian/Ubuntu apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
RHEL/CentOS yum install perl-DBD-MySQL
OpenSolaris pgk install pkg:/SUNWapu13dbd-mysql
18 at ./pt-online-schema-change line 8758.

Need help.

I ran the following on my mac and the toolkit is able to connect to a remote MySQL server:

$ brew install percona-toolkit
$ brew install mysql-client
$ brew link --force mysql-client
$ pt-mysql-summary -h 10.10.10.203 -P 8035 --user msandbox --password msandbox
...

Thanks, Matt! I am able to get pt-mysql-summary work. But the pt-online-schema-change errors. Is pt-online-schema-changes working for you?

Thanks!

Can you show the errors? It’s hard to help without seeing what you are seeing.
