MySQL, RH 7.2 and termcap

Draco

poxy poxy POXY thing...I'm always having trouble with MySQL.

I'm trying to compile MySQL on a freshly installed RH7.2 machine.
I've run configure exactly as the manual says[1], and it comes up the the following error:
error: No curses/termcap library found
A quick search turned up libtermcap.so.2 in /lib/ and libncurses.so.5 in /usr/lib/.
According to the termcap page[2] I have the lastest termcap.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Should I be putting the path to the two librarys in somewhere? Are those two even the right libraries? Should I throw out the whole lot out and use Windows?


[1]CFLAGS="-O3 -mpentiumpro"
CXX=gcc
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mpentiumpro -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-low-memory --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-assembler

I think I may have just the thing for you

From Linux.ie

Install Webserver
Installs and configures Apache, PHP and MySQL.

Unfortunately they're download link seems to be down so I've uploaded the file here for you.

(won't get a chance to upload it until later tonight I'll post when it's done)

Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and make sure /lib and /usr/lib are in
that file, each one on a new line. Save, and run ldconfig.

If that doesn't work, try changing CXXFLAGS to include
-L/lib -L/usr/bin

That _might_ work.

Nope, no dice. Damn it! I've been told this should work straight off! Damn stupid thing! Grrr!

Well I've put that file up if it's any use to you

To follow up on this:

After a bit of searching on the mysql mailing list, I found what seems to be the solution. I installed the ncurses development library and that has gotten rid of my intial probelm.

Thanks the logic and static for the suggestions.
