Error: libmysqlclient is needed for MySQL support

Hi all,

I searched via Deja and in the Forum but couldn´t find a solution. The only solution I could find was that I should use a -mysql in the use Flags. But I need MySQL, so I won´t use it.

This Error is what I get when I do a emerge pure-ftpd. It says:

join the club. seems the new mysql doesn't build or maybe install libmysqlclient.so.12 correctly, downgrade to mysql-4.0.22 (I think that's the last one)

Thanks for your replys. Seems that the Problem is fixed with the latest mysql Version. I did a emerge sync and a revdep-rebuild again and it emerged a new MySQL Version. Then the other Packages emerged fine too.

Thx

I did an emerge sync and this bug really bit me bad. I'm trying 4.0.22 instead of 4.0.22-r2 to see if the correct libs are found in /usr/lib. I'll report back.

copy all files under your $PREFIX/lib/mysql to /usr/lib will solve this problem.

Sorry to bump a very very old thread but i wanted to add that this problem still occurs. Re syncing portage and running revdep-rebuild fixed the problem for me. If you still run into this try this first =)
