checking for MySQL library directory... no

[Husker]

I have the latest and most up to date Debian 9 64 bit and trying to Configure, Compile, Install Ocelot tracker I run the command:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --with-ev-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
make

It stops at:

Code: Select all

checking for MySQL library directory... no
configure: error: Didn't find mysqlclient library in '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//lib64 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//lib64/mysql /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//lib/mysql'

I'd really appreciate some help with this one, please.

Code: Select all

--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

?? What's the idea of this path?

By default MySQL under Debian (and other Linuxes) installs schemas/databases, transaction logs and config files into to /var/lib/mysql/. Maybe that's what it's looking for. (Just a wild guess. I don't think I have ever heard anyone call it the "MySQL library directory", but I might start calling it that now.)

The guide can be seen https://github.com/WhatCD/Gazelle/wiki/ ... ure-ocelot it is in fact written for ubuntu 16.04

You have to use correct path for your system, maybe /usr/lib/mysql/lib, whatnot, I'm not there watching over your shoulder.

[Husker]

No, you're not and it would help if you were.

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/mysql/plugin

That is what I have

Code: Select all

dpkg -L <package>

This will list all files and locations installed by <package>.

Full list of installed packages thanks

[Segfault]

Can't see the list because ajax.googleapis.com scripts are not allowed here. Anyhow, you need to look at MySQL installation locations.

You can copy paste the url into a new tab.

[Segfault]

I'm at loss, what was the exact command that resulted in this output?

[Husker]

Edited for neatness

[Segfault]

I told you to look up the locations using dpkg, you posted a list of packages instead. More I look at this thread less I understand what the problem is and what you are doing there.
I suggest to get qualified help, maybe hire someone.

Your sort of error is usually the result of missing headers for the library in question, which would be in a "-dev" package in Debian. Probably installing the "default-libmysqlclient-dev" metapackage will take care of those.

That Ubuntu 16.04 guide has a list of build-depends you need to install first, but the mysql packages are somewhat different in Debian and more recent Ubuntus now.

Steve "I've seen build failures you people wouldn't believe. Configure files self-destructing in virtual machines. C-code erroring in a dark terminal on Tannhauser's desktop. All those errors will be lost in time, like memory in RAM...time to reboot."

Hello, thanks that made some progress but still fails further on

Pretty much the same type of problem as your first one. That second error would lead me to think that you don't have the libmysql++-dev package installed. It's listed as a build-depend in that linked guide for 16.04. Is it installed? Have you installed the rest of them that are possible in Stretch?

Hello again and no

Code: Select all

libmysql++-dev

was not installed and how would install the rest of them that are possible in Stretch, please?

Please follow the Ubuntu 16.04 instruction link that you gave above. Scroll up to where it says what you need to install to build it on Ubuntu 16.04. Install all the packages that it says to. If it fails because it says a package is not available, edit that one out of the command.

I see and editing the package that fails out of the command will not affect anything?
Thanks I really appreciate the help on this
