hi,

it failed while using mysql module:

exim-4.90.1-1.el7.x86_64
exim-mon-4.90.1-1.el7.x86_64
exim-mysql-4.90.1-1.el7.x86_64

2018-02-15 14:36:53 Error loading lookup module mysql.so: NULL


mailq | wc -l
Error loading mysql.so: /usr/lib64/exim/4.90.1-1.el7/lookups/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_query
2018-02-15 14:37:08 Error loading lookup module mysql.so: NULL

looks broken for me

Comment 7 Ruben Püttmann 2018-02-15 14:08:27 UTC
I try to rebuild the package and could see 

>>> Creating links to source files...
>>> Creating lookups/Makefile for building dynamic modules
Package mariadb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mariadb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'mariadb' found
Package mariadb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mariadb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'mariadb' found
>>> New Makefile & lookups/Makefile installed
>>> Use "make makefile" if you need to force rebuilding of the makefile
