./configure --with-webdir=/var/www --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass --enable-debug=yes --with-webgroup=www-data --with-webuser=www-data


the following error comes:

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


and the all the following instruccions dont work because it dosent create de zm_create.sql it only exit the zm_create.sql.in

I am workin with kubuntu 9.1 beta and the machine is a intel 64 with kunbuntu amd64

Can you tell me how can I solve this I am just learning linux........ thanks in advance for your help

If you are a novice then I don't think the SVN version is for you, for one thing it may not actually work on any given day.

However that is not the issue here. The configure script is telling you the things it needs before it can proceed. You need to fix the problems it is reporting before you can go any further.

There is a Ubuntu package with an older version that you can just download. There are also several documents in the Wiki that guide you through the process and tell you what you may need to tweak after install.
