proftpd+mysql install problems

nisse2004 · 03-05-2005, 07:51 AM

Hello! Im new on this board with a problem I just cant seem to fix...

Running slackware 10.0 and I am trying to get proftpd
compiled with mysql support... I use theese configure options:

./configure \
--with-modules=mod_sql:mod_sql_mysql \
--with-includes=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql \
--with-libraries=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

The paths should be correct as I have mysql installed in /usr/local/mysql

With theese configure options proftpd compiles without a hitch as far as I can se but the problem is when I try to run proftpd after install to check if the modules where included..

proftpd -l

the command gives me this error...

"proftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I have checked and the file libmysqlclient.so.14 is located in the /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql dir just like I specified...

what is the problem? greatful for any help you guys can give me! =)

I have the same problem as you do, I did the same way of conf when installing proftpd and I getting the same error when I trying connecting to the server. Does anybody know what is causing this error?

I know this is an old topic, but I did a search trying to find the answer to this and found it in another forum:

This usually means that your dynamic loader has not been configured for those paths. On Linux, for example, you need to make sure that /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, and then you need to run /sbin/ldconfig, as root, in order to update the loader.

This worked for me - I am running Fedora. A typical answer for other such problems.
