Thanks for youy reply... but partially solved the problem... I used "ldconfig", the machine took a little while... then.. I modified the "fp.cfg" (adding a "-Fl/usr/lib/mysql/" line, it wasn't there)... then y tried to compile "testdb.pp" again: 1) From the "FreePascal IDE" It worked fine, It compilled... SOLVED.
2) BUT using "fpc testdb.pp" gets the same error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient": I veryfied thad I have two "fp.cfg" files, one in /root/fp.cfg" and other in "/usr/bin/fp.cfg", but now, both are the same. And still do not compile with "fpc testdb.pp". Any other extra idea ? >> I am trying to get access to a DataBase in a MySQL server from a Linux >> RH 8.0 machine (I modified the testdb.pp in order to access the DB): >> (from a MS-Win98SE machine I got my program to work using/copying the >> libmySQL.dll into windows\system) >> I have in the linux machine the "mysqlclient9" installed >> (mysqlclient9-3.23.22-8) >> In "/etc/ld.so.conf" I have "/usr/lib/mysql" line.
