<![CDATA[skipping incompatible libmysqlclient]]>Hi,

I'm installing netxms-0.2.22 on Linux 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64.
After installing rpms for MySQL 5.0.67 and ZLib 1.2.3-18, I run:

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

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

config.log says:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a when searching for -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.0/../../../libmysqlclient.so when searching for -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so when searching for -lmysqlclient

I'd appreciate any insights on this,

Regards,

Best regards,

Could it have something to do with the version of mysql?
I'm running Mysql 5.1

The commandline I used

./configure --with-server --with-agent --with-mysql=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ --prefix=/usr/local/netxms/

I tried with and without the path to the mysql libs but it doesn't matter..

It's all 32bit so that's not the issue.....

"skipping incompatible" libmysqlclient.so "when searching for -lmysqlclient"

  • it gives you a lot of compilation issues with various products.

Thanks for the swift reply!
No, I don't have any libmysql under /usr/lib64, and I think you are right about the versions,
let me check it and post the result.

BTW, I googled for 'netxms "skipping incompatible"', you're saying this isn't a netxms issue but something more general?

Looks like you either have only 32-bit MySQL binaries, or bug in NetXMS configure. All these libraries skipped because they are 32 bit, but NetXMS compiles as 64bit application on x64 platforms. Do you have libmysqlclient.so somewhere under /usr/lib64? Btw, quick google search on error message impress me that it's quite common problem on FC.

Best regards,
Victor
