Problem: Trying to install php-mysql on a Fedora2 opteron box.

error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-4.3.8-2.1

BUT,
rpm -qa | grep -i mysql

returns:

MySQL-client-4.1.5-0.glibc23
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.21-0 <<---
MySQL-server-4.1.5-0.glibc23
MySQL-devel-4.1.5-0.glibc23
MySQL-shared-4.1.5-0.glibc23
php-mysql-4.3.8-2.1

ie, I have the backwards compat libmysqlclient.so.10 libs. They are here:
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.10

I modified /etc/ld.so.conf to be:
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib64
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib
/usr/lib64/mysql

and
/sbin/ldconfig -v | grep libmysqlclient

returns

libmysqlclient_r.so.10 -> libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.10 -> libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0
libmysqlclient_r.so.10 -> libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.12 -> libmysqlclient.so.12.0.0
libmysqlclient_r.so.12 -> libmysqlclient_r.so.12.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.10 -> libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0
libmysqlclient_r.so.14 -> libmysqlclient_r.so.14.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.14 -> libmysqlclient.so.14.0.0

mysql -V
mysql Ver 14.6 Distrib 4.1.5-gamma, for unknown-linux (x86_64)
is the mysql version i am running. (Which works fine)

Basically what I am asking is, how do I tell the php rpm where to find the libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0?
Thanks guys...

Philip.

Try running as root.. updatedb

Yeah, this didnt help much.
$ sudo updatedb
$ rpm -ivh php-mysql-4.3.8-2.1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-4.3.8-2.1

Thanks though...

Try creating a symlink to the 64 bit version in /usr/lib64/mysql both in /usr/lib and usr/lib64, update ldconf and then run the install. If it still bombs out, I'd suggest to install with --nodeps since you know the lib's are there and should be found.
