Summary: Review Request: libnss-mysql - NSS library for MySQL
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388981
------- Additional Comments From tibbs@math.uh.edu 2007-11-18 02:30 EST ------- This still fails to build for me. The build problem comes from the configure script only checking for /usr/lib/mysql/ibmysqlclient.*, when on x86_64 the libraries are in /usr/lib64/mysql.
Unfortunately due to complete brokenness of the configure script, it is not possible to pass anything which will make it look in the proper location. It will check the following directories: what you pass to --with-mysql /usr /usr/local /usr/local/mysql /opt/local /opt/local/mysql for the following files: lib/mysqlclient.so lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so lib/libmysqlclient.a lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a so no matter what you pass, it will never look in /usr/lib64/mysql.
Your only options are to patch the configure script, or to impress upon upstream the need to fix this and wait for them to do so.
