Hi all and thank you for your time.. and excuse my frenchies-english faults

I tried to install Zm in many ways but i'm still blocked

I've read the doc, search on google but he was not my friend, and in this forum but those has same problem than me found their solution and not me..

Firstly my problem was configure don't find my libmysqlclient.a file with a 1.21.0 Zm install and a 5.0 mysql install. I was sure of my --with-mysql=path
(/mnt/mysql/mysql, where libmysqlclient.a is in /mnt/mysql/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a)!

So, i try with anothers actuals versions of zm, 1.22.2 and 1.22.3. With same steps, the error is now he don't find mysql.h file..
(im still sure of my path, where the file is in /mnt/mysql/mysql/include/mysql.h)


SO!.. I try with anothers actuals versions of Mysql, 5.1 and 5.2. (downloaded directly from the mysql website in non-RPM packages) With same steps, and news paths of newers Mysql, the problem is always same!

ZM 1.21.0 and Mysql5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 : zm requires libmysqlclient.a
ZM 1.22.2 and Mysql5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 : zm requires mysql.h
ZM 1.22.3 and Mysql5.0, 5.1, or 5.2: zm requires mysql.h

I don't know to do more...i'm sure of my --with-mysql paths but he never find them!

Please help!! what can i do?

can you use a ready built zm sidtro, ie nonlive mandriva 2006?

Which distribution of linux are you using ?
Fedora, Suse ... ?

I tried to download Zmdv_2006, the Mandriva ZoneMinder installer CD, but the torrent seems to be a little lazy.. still 0%.

But i'm on debian sarge 3.1 with a functional Apache2 - Mysql 5.0 and Php 5.1 and it should be possible ???

The mysql install is a ready non rpm package standard who i untar in my mount /mnt/mysql. I see the searched files in /mnt/mysql/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a and /mnt/mysql/mysql/include/mysql.h and --with-mysql=/mnt/mysql/mysql

I have just noticed my error message is in reality : "zm requires mysql/mysql.h"

But mysql.h is by default in /mnt/mysql/mysql/include/mysql.h and not in /mnt/mysql/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h

Why the configure of Zm search in /include/mysql/mysql.h, whereas mysql default install don't have this mysql additionnal repertory?

Your problem is that you have manualy installed MySQL outside the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
The standard can be found here.
ZM expects this standard, to get around it you will need to modify the ZM source code.

Thank you for yours answers.

I believed the --with-mysql= path parameters precisely exist for installs manualy installed outside from the FHS! ?

How can I install it in the right place?

I'm using a 62bits FC6 and followed these instructions:

On a 32bit installation all went smooth, but on the 64bit it is failing

THANXX FOR YOUR HELP
