Hi,

Could anybody please tell how to install mysqlclient.a library in /usr/lib.

When I installed mysql client package from ubuntu, in /usr/lib it shows as libmysqlclient.a , but what I need is mysqlclient.a library.

Try adding the MySQL-devel package.

You need to install the packaged named libmysql-devel

I think you type something like: sudo apt-get install libmysql-devel

Why do you need a file named mysqlclient.a? Are you trying to satisfy another package's dependency?

Generally libraries begin with lib and libmysqlclient is no different. If you build MySQL from source, you will get libmysqlclient.a because that is the "proper" name for this library.

Hi,

Actually I am installing MCS (Multicast Control Server) source code in my system. It depends on MySQL database and I have to install

1) MySQL-server

2) MySySQL-client

and after installing I should have mysqlclient.a library under /usr/lib.

But after installing both server and client packages from synaptic packet manager I got libmysqlclient.a library under /usr/lib.

Are libmysqlclient.a and mysqlclient.a same or not?

thanks for your reply.

Where does it say that the file should be named mysqlclient.a?
