I'm trying to build and install Zabbix 1.8 on my CentOS 5.2 server. This server has MySQL 5.0 installed from the standard CentoOS 5.2 repository.

./configure ... is failing because of:

configure: error: Not found mysqlclient library

When I do yum list mysqlclient* yum says there are no matching packages.

So I did a yum install mysqlclient* but get this error:

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 from install of mysqlclient15-5.0.91-1.ius.el5.i386 conflicts with file from package mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.i386
file /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 from install of mysqlclient15-5.0.91-1.ius.el5.i386 conflicts with file from package mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.i386

How do I resolve this?

Install the mysql-devel package.

  • Thanks, this pointed me in the right direction. mysql-devel was already installed but it seems like the configure script didn't like it. I needed to do yum update mysql-devel instead which got me on my way.

The mysqlclient library (libmysqlclient) is--as the error implies--already installed. Rather, it sounds like your paths are not setup correctly, which may be because the file is in a subdirectory of lib.

Try running configure with:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql ...

You can also specify the path to mysql_config instead. If this continues to fail, you can explicitly set the library paths for configure, by setting environment variables:

LDFLAGS=/usr/lib/mysql ./configure ...

Leave feedback if this doesn't work, and good luck!

  • I did try both of those options but configure still failed. Ignacio's answer pointed my in the right direction. thanks for the answer though. +1

A sidenote about yum saying nothing is matches. My bet is you have a file that matches mysqlclient* in the directory you are running yum from. Try

yum list 'mysqlclient*'

Use apostrophes instead of double quotes because these interpolate and you would have the same problem.
