ZoneMinder Forums

Would someone please look at this error and point me in the right direction?
I'm terrible at software installation.
I'm installing on Mandrake 10.0, community edition.
Please let me know if I can provide any more detail.
Thanks.

You need the development installation of MySQL.
from http://www.zoneminder.com/fileadmin/dow ... EADME.html:

ZoneMinder needs a couple of things to work.

Firstly, it uses MySQL so you'll need that. In order to compile you need to make sure you have a development installation and not just a runtime; this is because it needs to use the MySQL header files. If you are running an RPM based distribution then it’s probably worth installing all the pure mysql rpm files to be sure you have the right ones.

....

does this help?

davide,

Thanks Davide!

"urpmi mysql-devel" was the command to fix my problem.
