Installation on Linux

[inadiyat]

Hi,

Now I would like to install on Linux Box (uname -a shows: Linux saivrap2 2.4.21-32.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 15 21:04:33 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux). I want to install NetXMS server and agent using mysql database.

I have installed following MySQL modules using rpm -i :

• MySQL-server-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
• MySQL-client-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
• MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
• MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel3.i386.rpm

But when I run:

./configure --with-server --with-mysql --with-agent

I got this error:

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: libmysqlclient is requred for MySQL support

Path to the libmysqlclient already there...

What am I missing ? Please help...

Thanks.

Best regards,
Adiyat

Hello.

You also need to install development packages (MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.rpm).

[inadiyat]

Yes, I did... (as I post in my question above)

But the problem still there....

Any other idea ?

Thank you very much in advance...

Best regards,

Sorry, i was inattentive.

Please show your config.log, lines between:

configure:4714: checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient

and

configure:4786: error: libmysqlclient is requred for MySQL support

Thanks for your quick reply, below is the data you asked for (from config.log):

Looks like zlib is not detected. Try to configure it that way:

LDFLAGS=-lz ./configure --with-server --with-agent --with-mysql

If it fails, check, if zlib-devel is installed?

[inadiyat]

YES !!!!

It works now....

I just need to install zlib-devel-1.1.4-8.7x.i386.rpm (www.zlib.net).

Thank you very much for your great support.

Best regards,
Adiyat

[inadiyat]

BTW, how do you get to this conclusion ? (Need zlib-devel). I have to learn something from this...

Thanks & Best regards,
Adiyat

"undefined reference" means that linker was unable to resolve (=find) functions "compress" and "decompress" in all given libraries - mysql probably use them for client/server protocol compression.

Next steps can vary:

1. search google: "mysql undefined reference compress uncompress" will take you to the http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/link-errors.html, "Problems Linking to the MySQL Client Library" with solution: "If you get undefined reference errors for the uncompress or compress  function, add -lz to the end of your link command and try again."
2. grep *.so/*.a files in your /usr/lib (/lib, etc) for missing symbol. You can later check exact library using "nm" tool:

alk@ns$ nm libz.a | grep "T compress"
000000a4 T compress
00000000 T compress2

"T" means that this function exist in this exact library.

Again, thank you very much...
