Bug with libmysqlclient 64bit libs
  • I could not figure out how to submit this bug, so I decided to just post it here:

    When going through the configuration during install, my 64bit fedora machine says that the machine does not have proper libmysqlclient library installed. In order to complete install , you must change lines 786,789,791,793 of check4_functions from:

    "/usr/lib:/usr/lib/mysql:/usr/local/mysql:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/mysql/lib:/usr/lib64/mysql"
    to
    "/usr/lib64/mysql:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/mysql:/usr/local/mysql:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/mysql/lib"

    Essentially moving the last lib location to the front. Otherwise, it might find the 32bit incompatible library. I found this to be the case in both 2.6.6 and 2.6.7.

    Don't know if this should be changed for everything, but it took a while to track down.
