Percona Server 56, checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no

Please, specify the exact steps to reproduce the problem on fresh Debian 7 installation. We need to know what exact packages you've installed and why do you try to build from source this way (cmake is usually used with 5.5+, no configure).

On clean debian 7

cd /home/
apt-get install subversion gcc zlib1g-dev libmysql++-dev make libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
svn co http://eathena-project.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
cd /home/trunk/
chmod -R 755 ./
./configure or ./configure --enable-64bit
make sql

And it`s work. But when I use percona server 5.6 -> checking MySQL library (optional)... no

Something similar happened with java applications.
For example with minecraft (bukkit), and some plug-ins that use mysql.
After the regular set mysql -> problem was gone

http://rathena.org/board/tracker/issue-8186-compilation-and-percona-server-56/

The same problem when building XBT Tracker
http://xbtt.sourceforge.net/tracker/

OK, now I got it. You build some tools that use libmysqlclient with Percona versions of the library installed and it does not work as expected. Thank you for clarifications.

Just works for me on Ubuntu 13.04 with recent Percona Server 5.6.14:

I tried to replicate this on debian 7 box with percona mysql libs and didn't faced any issues though.

All right. I'll do a test VPS with this bug and send the mail root access.

Muhammad Irfan, check u mail.

Finally, i am able to reproduce this problem on PS 5.5 & PS 5.6

This problem also occurred on PS 5.1

# make sql
MySQL not found or disabled by the configure script
make: *** [needs_mysql] Error 1

The libmysqlclient18.1 packages on wheezy and squeeze are broken. These packages don't install /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.18 but the libmysqlclient-dev package has a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so to libmysqlclient_r.so.18 which does not exist. This file should exist in the libmysqlclient18.1 package.

Quick fix:

ln -sv libmysqlclient_r.so.18.1.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.18

See also:
$ dpkg-query -L libmysqlclient18.1 | fgrep /usr/lib/
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18.1.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.18.1.0

Compare with Debian's native libmysqlclient16:
$ dpkg-query -L libmysqlclient16 | fgrep /usr/lib/
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16

Do NOT package the file with libmysqlclient-dev, package it with libmysqlclient18.1.
