From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When I gunzip and untar the source code and attempt to compile, it will state "You do not have mysql" when it attempts to locate the library files. I have tried this multiple different ways, and it compiles fine on a Mandrake 10 box. mysqld is start, and a root password is set. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest release of MySQL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download pennmush-1.8.1 from www.pennmush.org 2. gunzip the file 3. tar xvf the file 4. cd pennmush 5. ./Configure -d Actual Results: The source code compiles, but when you scroll back in the output you see - "You do not have mysql" The system refuses to find the library files even though it is working. Expected Results: "You have mysql" Additional info:
Offhand it sounds like you don't have the mysql-devel RPM installed?
You know, as odd as that sounds...you might be right. On the initial install of Fedora FC4 I did select /all/ the MySQL packages, including the devel package. But when I do 'rpm -q mysql' I get this - [root@ ~]# rpm -q mysql mysql-4.1.12-2.FC4.1 [root@ ~]# Any suggestions on how to automatically download and install the development package?
Well, it's been awhile since I installed Fedora from scratch, but I think there's a generic option along the lines of "install development support" that gets you the -devel RPMs for everything you install. But the above rpm query proves little, because it will only show packages whose base name is exactly "mysql". Try "rpm -qa | grep mysql"
Ok...ran that and this is what I got - [root@wendy ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.7.1-3 mod_auth_mysql-2.6.1-4 mysql-devel-4.1.11-2 mysqlclient10-3.23.58-6 mysql-4.1.11-2 php-mysql-5.0.4-10 mysql-server-4.1.11-2 mysql-bench-4.1.11-2 [root@wendy ~]# Seems the development package may be installed. Any chance it might not be installed to a "non standard" location?
Well, that's certainly a full set of mysql-4.1 RPMs. Let's see [ digs through pennmush Configure script... ] It looks to me like the problem is that they neglected to add -L/usr/lib/mysql in the test program's link flags. You could supply that yourself where Configure asks you about linker flags. If you think pennmush ought to know about this by default, you should take it up with them.
