mysql libraries not available after install (12.04)

[wtriba]

Finished a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2, MySQL server (5.5.22) and libmysqlclient-dev (16). MySQL is up and running, header files are there as well. I was expecting lib files to be available in /usr/lib/mysql. They are not (the folder is there) and builds cannot resolve the references. Am I missing something else? or is something broken with the mysql dev install?

Thanks

Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Same problem here.

If you are using 64bit Ubuntu, the location of the libraries are in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

But be warned that you will not be able to compile nothing with libmysqlclient, as every symbol (mysql_init(), etc.) will not be found. (That's the reason I found your question here, looking for a solution)

I managed to compile something with libmysqlclient after installing the 'libmysqlclient-dev' package from apt-get on Ubuntu 12.04.

Ie:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Hope this helps,
Scott
