zabbix_server will not run following make install

[dnerdahl]

I'm installing Zabbix on a solaris 9 server and I have completed the configure and the make/make install. I go to the /usr/local/bin directory and attempt to run the zabbix_server file located there and receive the following error:

ld.so.1: zabbix_server: fatal: libmysqlclient.so.15: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

The libmysqlclient.so.15 file is in the mysql lib directory that was detected and used during the configure.

I'm at a bit of a loss, anyone have any ideas?

Additional information

As a side note: I was looking at the config.status and Makefile files and I noticed that the MYSQL_LFLAG and MYSQL_LIB variables seemed to have their data swapped. I made manual changes to those two files to adjust the LIB path and still encountered the same error.

Solution

Hi, I encountered the same problem and found the solution. I found this thread googling for answer so I will post it here to help other people:

You need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable correctly, for example:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH ='/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/mysql5/lib/mysql' (I installed mysql via pkg-get on Solaris 10)

Hope that helps,
