Zabbix installation with remote mysql

[jcesteves]

Hello.

I haven't found anything on the forum about this : I would like to install a zabbix frontend with a remote mysql server.

I have an ubuntu server 8.04 on which anything has been installed in order to install zabbix (including mysql client). I have a mysql mutualized server running mysql 5 on Windows 2003 server R2 SP2.

When I try the next sentence :

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp –
with-jabber –with-libcurl

it stops on :
configure: error: Not found MySQL library.

I can't install mysql server on my ubuntu and must use the mutualised one.
What is the sentence I must insert after my ./configure to get it working ?

Thank you very much for your help.

I believe all you will need to do is install the MySQL client library packages. Zabbix appears to require some code from these libraries in order to compile.

Try 'apt-get install libmysqlclient*' as the root user.

It should not be necessary to install the MySQL server package on your Ubuntu machine.
