Compiling on Fedora Core 5 64

[gazzerh]

I have been using Zabbix for a while now on 32 bit platforms. I have come across a problem when compiling on FC4 64bit.

During the make I am getting this error:

gcc -g -O2 -o zabbix_server -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib evalfunc.o expression.o actions.o zlog.o functions.o server.o ../libs/zbxsysinfo/libzbxsysinfo.a ../libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/libzbxsysinfo2.a ../libs/zbxlog/libzbxlog.a ../libs/zbxpid/libzbxpid.a ../libs/zbxconf/libzbxconf.a ../libs/zbxcrypto/libzbxcrypto.a ../libs/zbxnet/libzbxnet.a pinger/libzbxpinger.a poller/libzbxpoller.a housekeeper/libzbxhousekeeper.a alerter/libzbxalerter.a timer/libzbxtimer.a trapper/libzbxtrapper.a ../libs/zbxemail/libzbxemail.a ../libs/zbxsms/libzbxsms.a ../libs/zbxdbhigh/libzbxdbhigh.a ../libs/zbxcommon/libzbxcommon.a -lmysqlclient -lm -lz -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lresolv -lnsl

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Hi

Please check that this MySQL packages are installed:

mysql-devel-5.0.18-2.1.x86_64.rpm
mysql-5.0.18-2.1.x86_64.rpm

Regards
Areg

vrtareg is right.

Notice this line:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient

[gazzerh]

I noticed this line and I wish the solution was that simple:

# rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-5.0.22-1.FC5.1
mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-9.2
mysql-server-5.0.22-1.FC5.1
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-1.2.1
mysql-devel-5.0.22-1.FC5.1
mysqlclient14-devel-4.1.14-4.2
mysql-5.0.22-1.FC5.1
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.1
mysqlclient14-4.1.14-4.2
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-9.2

Any other ideas?

I believe this is because ZABBIX autoconf cannot detect /usr/lib64/mysql directory. You may change either configure.in or generated Makefiles. This will be fixed in 1.1.4.

[gazzerh]

That did it. Thanks Alexei. I just went into src/zabbix_server and ran the gcc command with -L /usr/lib64/mysqld and -L /usr/lib64

i made a symlink "/usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib" and it worked!

[gazzerh]

This is not an ideal solution. Programs you have installed may require 32-bit libs. It's a bit extreme. The configure is just not picking up lib64 so the make files are incorrect. No need to make such a sledgehammer system change.

My solution is more system safe.

If you meant my solution: well, i removed the link after compilation!

64 bit problem

Hello all,

I am having same problem . cannot find -lmysqlclient

What could be the best solution. On the forums, i found three solutions

1) http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1652 ( i dont want to change the /lib/ to /lib64 since i dont know what other effect it can give to other progams . but if someone can give me proper way to do above, i can try that.

2) I believe this is because ZABBIX autoconf cannot detect /usr/lib64/mysql directory. You may change either configure.in or generated Makefiles. This will be fixed in 1.1.4.

Where can i find zabbix autoconf ?

3) another post says to make a symlink "/usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib" and it worked!
Can someone comment more on this 3 solution

[vaneet]

i tried symlink,

the problem still remain same ?
