I was getting this error: > configure: error: Cannot find mysqlclient library under /usr/local/mysql > whereas the library is actually found under /usr/local/lib/mysql. At any Didn't we just go over this yesterday? You needed to pass --with-mysql=/usr/local instead of --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql In the configure you edited, it's going to be looking for [Whatever you passed configure for --with-mysql] plus a) lib or b) lib/mysql plus libmysqlclient.* So when you pass configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql and the path is actually /usr/local/lib/mysql, you're making it look in a) /usr/local/mysql/lib or b) /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql It doesn't find what it's looking for, so it tells you " Cannot find mysqlclient library under /usr/local/mysql", which is the path you gave it. The error is sort of misleading because it doesn't report *exactly* where it looked, but it's correct nonetheless. You need to pass it /usr/local because that is the correct *base* path. Now, after that, if it doesn't configure correctly, that's another story. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
