Problem with Fedora Core 11 and libmysqlclient

Stephan · Post by **Stephan** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 11:00 am

Hi all,

I'm in the process of installing a new PacsOne Server and thought I'd use the latest version of Fedora since all previous versions were working fine with it.
I'm running the 64-bit version of Fedora Core 11 and the latest version of lampp (1.7.1).

PacsOne is checking for libmysqlclient.so.15 and Core 11 comes with so.16... so it fails to install.

Is there any way to solve this without rolling back to a previous version, which also includes alot of dependencies like libcrypto and so on?
I've already tried a symlink of so.15 pointing to so.16 (I know, I know, not the way it should be done), but that didn't work either.

Any help is appreciated.

Best,
Stephan

Which version of MySQL have you installed on this server?

MySQL version is 5.1.33.

Try creating a symbolic link with libmysqlclient.so to libmysqlclient.so.16, e.g.,

Code: Select all

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.16 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so

Then check if the link editor can find it correctly:

Code: Select all

# ldd Setup.exe

An alternative is to simply installed the last 5.0.x of MySQL release instead of 5.1.x.

A little update. I've tried the symlinks before with no luck. I then went back to MySQL 5.0 and libmysqlclient.so.15 was on the system.
ldconfig showed these properly installed, but ldd Setup.exe still could not find it.

I then installed the MySQL-shared-compat-5.0 package which solved the problem for whatever reason. I completed the installation so far. I'll do the rest of the configuration (Apache and PHP) next week.
