Problem when running ./configure. error: zm requires libmysq

[linh]

I am using zm-1.19.1

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/share/mysql/
--with-webdir=/var/www/htm/zm
--with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin
--with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/ffmpeg/libavcodec

The last 3 lines are showned below

checking for dlsym in -ldl... yes
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: zm requires libmysqlclient.a
==============================================

I searched for the file libmysqlclient.a and it is in /usr/lib/mysql/ directory.
This is what I used in ./configure as showned above

[root@localhost /]# find / -name libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
==============================================

[linh]

I got this figured out already. Skip this.

I have the same problem....How did you fix it? Any help much appreciated

install mysql-devel
i dont know what release are you using..

[goodman]

thanks...got past that bump....now i have a new problem!

I can load and log in to the Console window, but there is a message : " Warning Division by zero in /var/www/html/zm/zm_html_view_console.php on line 62 "

I am thinking that this is a php problem, will try to change php.ini file, per README (if i can figure out how to do this)

This is nearly always caused by the database not being provisioned. Make sure you have run zmconfig.pl at least once after you have created your database.

Was there an answer as to how I go about fixing the error:

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: zm requires libmysqlclient.a

I installed mysql-devel on Fedora Core 2 and I'm still getting this error. It looks like configure is checking for mysql_init and not finding it. Am I suppose to use a certain version of mysql? Can someone help me out?

Thanks

[bikerfreak]

A quick peek inside libmysqlclient.a shows that mysql_init no longer exists and may have been replaced by my_init. Does that mean I have to find an older version of mysql to compile zm? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

OK, FYI

using --wth-mysql=/usr instead of /usr/lib/mysql fixed it. I don't know how since the libs are all under /usr/lib/mysql, but it did fix it.
