I've got the libmysqlclient.a blues with Suse 11.1

Hello,

I've installed Suse 11.1 with the standard mysql+libmysqlclient 5.0.67 packages.
When ZoneMinder complained about the missing libmysqlclient.a library
I've searched this forum to find out that the mysql-devel package is
missing, but this package is unfortunately missing in the current Suse
11.1 distribution (it was there in 10.x distributions, though).

After further searching I de-installed mysql, build mysql from scratch
from the current 5.1.35 source package from mysql.com, copied the
include files to /usr/include (and added a link to /usr/locale/include),
copied the libmysqlclient.a to /usr/lib, run ldconfig...

Issue still not solved.

My question: is there anybody out there who has successfully installed
ZoneMinder on a Suse 11.1 box, preferably with the original mysql 5.0.67?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi,

of course I did

The mysql-devel package was renamed in openSuSE to libmysqlclient-devel. I'm not sure if it is part of the DVD contents but it is available in the openSuSE standard repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... 1/standard

Can also use the available RPM http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... s_for_SuSE to install ZoneMinder

Hope this helps

OMG, that was embarrassingly simple. I searched the forum up and down, but it never occurred to me to search the Wiki.

Thanks a lot!

Just to note and in case anyone else comes across this thread with a simular issue, Packages across distros ill have varying names. While most of what you find here on the forums started using RedHat common package names (you'll find these allot in early forum posts) they do relate to a degree.

Development packages aka devel, dev, etc do vary in the actual names across distros so searching for a more generic term can help you locate what you need.
