I'm sorry, I am new at this. I have tried to install mySQL database under 
tables and Database. I tell it that mySQL and (mydatabase) but everytime I 
login it says "You need either GDBM_File or DB_File for Interchange to work 
as documented." Is this where you tell it what your database is? Is there a 
step I missed?
