The problem is in your distro/installation of MySQL/something along
that line.  Seems like you might not have the MySQL client libraries
installed or something.

You will need to ensure that DBD::mysql is properly installed before
MogileFS works.  If you are having issues getting DBD::mysql installed
on FC8 then you will want to ask an appropriate group of people that
work with Fedora.  :-)
