CentOS 4.4 64bit compile error

[H@rry]

I am trying to compile the source rpm of fc6 on CentOS 4.4 x86_64. It alls goes pretty weel, after installing some dependencies (devel packages), but i keep getting stuck on this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient

I searched the forum and found this:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5242&highlight=MYSQLCLIENT

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4378&highlight=MYSQLCLIENT

So it seams to me that this has bin asked before but never have been looked at.

Can this be resolved?

This forum has to do with compiling right? Cookbook...

but i am trying to compile the latest version of fc6 which is 1.1.7

[H@rry]

ok i got it to work. this is what i did:

I installed the rpm with: rpm -ivh zabbix-1.1.7-1.fc6.src.rpm
Then i went to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
unzipped the tar.gz: tar -zxvf zabbix-1.1.7.tar.gz
go into the directory: cd zabbix-1.1.7
edit the configure file accordeing to the forum link i gave in my first post
removed zabbix-1.1.7.tar.gz
zipped the folder: tar -cvf zabbix-1.1.7.tar.gz zabbix-1.1.7/
go to the SPEC file: cd ../SPECS
build form the spec file: rpmbuild -bb zabbix.spec

and the RPM packages were build inside the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS folder

ok one minor detail, the %{_sysconfdir} of CentOS is pointing to /usr/etc and not /etc, anyone noticed this before? And how did you resolve this?

[H@rry]

solved!

i found the solution, and posted it on the CentOS forums.

so for anyone wanting to compile 64-bit Zabbix RPM's, its as easy as can be. (If only the little addition to the configure script can be made?) The addition in the configure script is no longer needed after this!!!
I simply ran:

rpmbuild --rebuild zabbix-1.1.7-1.fc6.src.rpm

Life can be so wonderfull!!
