configure: error: Not found MySQL library

Hi,

Iam trying to install zabbix on a CentOS 4.x box, with MySQL 5.0.x and PHP 4.3.x. I get the following error:

[root@server1 zabbix]# ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql/ --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl
...lots of output...
checking for mysql_config... /usr/lib/mysql/
configure: error: Not found MySQL library
[root@server1 zabbix]# locate mysql_config
/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/bin/mysql_config
/usr/lib/mysql3/mysql/mysql_config
/usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config
/usr/share/man/man1/mysql_config.1.gz
/usr/bin/mysql_config
[root@server1 zabbix]# /usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config
Usage: /usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags         [-I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv]
        --include        [-I/usr/include/mysql]
        --libs           [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
        --libs_r         [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
        --socket         [/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock]
        --port           [3306]
        --version        [5.0.27]
        --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]

So, it would appear that mysql_config does exist - but zabbix does not like it.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

mysql devel installed?

mysql devel installed?

No; I installed the MySQL packages from mysql.com which don't appear to have a mysql-devel script...:

[root@server1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i MySQL
php-mysql-4.3.9-3.22.9
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1
mysql-server-5.0.27-1.el4.centos
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-3.1
MySQL-ndb-management-5.0.22-0.glibc23
mysqlclient14-4.1.14-4.2.c4.1
mysql-5.0.27-1.el4.centos
mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1
[root@server1 ~]#

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks!

libmysqlclient-dev would be for Ubuntu...
