cannot find libmysqlclient.so when installing Request Tracker Ticketing program

SmokeMonkey · 06-15-2004, 02:11 PM

Ok So I am attempting to install the program Request Tracker for my company but I am running into some problems. I have gone though and installed most the they systems but when I go to initialize the database with mysql i get the following error:

/usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_init

I have looked around at a few other sites and one person mentioned that its not necessarily a RT problem but a MySQL problem. He said that you should try to reinstall SQL, which I've done and then locate libmysqlclient.so. So I have done all of this but I am stuck at finding this file. Is it something I have to create with MySQL or what? I am a major noob when it comes to attempting to set up SQL but RT needs it to run....Any help would be very much appreciated.

Anyone out there have any suggestions for me?

It is probably more of a Perl problem. Are the necessary Perl modules installed? You can start a CPAN shell as root (perl -MCPAN -e shell - you will have to answer a lot of questions if it's the first time you run it) and type install Bundle:

BD::mysql, at least I think that's the right bundle.

Well, I ran CPAN and it says that the Bundle is not found because it doesn't know what that is. I have never used CPAN before so I don't really know what I'm doing with it. Any more help would be greatly appericated

CPAN is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network and is a means to collect and distribute Perl modules basically. The CPAN shell provides a simple way of installing modules directly from CPAN. The website also has an excellent search page which is a good place to start if you're looking for a Perl module.

In my post above the install line was screwed up by the auto-inserted smiley so let's try again. What you want to type in the CPAN shell is:

Code:

install Bundle::DBD::mysql

Ok so I was able to run this finally and I received the following errors:

Code:

Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 174.

Any Ideas whats going on?

And thanks for helping a newbie out.
