(CATOOL) CATool install failure - MySQL has gone away

[Paul Kiely]

I'm attempting to install CATool 1.2.6 on a RedHat 9
system with the following ancillary software installed
on the box:

Authen-Smb-0.91
CGI.pm-3.04
DBD-mysql-2.9003
DBI-1.41
Digest-1.05
Digest-MD5-2.33
mysql-4.0.18

I run the Install script and just after the private
key gets created I get an error message that the
'MySQL server has gone away'.  Here's exactly what
happens:

[root at gomer catool-1.2.6]# sh Install
Preserving existing "catool" user account ...

rl/Catool/Database.pm line 36.
Catool::Database::InsertRow: operation failed

e away at bin/load_ca_cert line 69

I've seen other postings on this list that discuss
this error.  However, those postings seemed to
indicate that the problem was that the MySQL server
was shut down prior to (or during) the install of
CATool.  I don't thing that's my problem since I
verified right before the install that the server was
indeed running.  As a matter of fact, I went through
the install several times making sure each time that
MySQL was up.

Any help is appreciated.
