Unable to connect to MySQL with LMS 7.7.1 on RaspberryPI

Hi,

I'm installing LMS 7.7.1 on my Raspberry PI running Debian. I have to use an existing MySQL database and I know that LMS 7.7.1 does not include MySQL drivers, therefore I have installed libdbd-mysql-perl.

But if I change the server.prefs to use the MySQL database I get the following when starting LMS:

Warning: Module [DBD::mysql] failed to load:
Unable to get DBI state function. DBI not loaded. at /usr/lib/perl/5.14/DynaLoader.pm line 207.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 525) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 525) line 2.

Slim::Schema::Storage::throw_exception (122) Error: DBI Connection failed: install_driver(mysql) failed: Unable to get DBI state function. DBI not loaded. at /usr/lib/perl/5.14/DynaLoader.pm line 207.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 756) line 3.

I tried several tricks like copying the MySQL driver from LMS 7.7.0 into 7.7.1 but then it tells me about version 3 to version 4 mismatches.

Is there something else I need to do to get LMS 7.7.1 connected to the MySQL database?
