Tried and no luck..

make setdb

Error: MySQL client libraries not installed.

Error: PostgreSQL client libraries not installed.

Error: DB libraries not installed.

And mysql is install and working properly for many other apps.

Any help is appreciated!

Got it the fix was to add mysql to the PATH variable

Derek,

Try downloading the MySQL client development libraries for your distro.
On debian, the deb looks something _like_ "apt-get install
libmysqlclient15-dev" or "apt-get install mysql-dev".

I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but putting the MySQL
libraries in your path might help. From a former Cid email:

"
You don't have MySQL in your library path. Try updating /etc/ld.so.conf
with it.

$ man lfconfig (should give you all th necessary info)

maybe:
# echo /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

Hope it helps...
"

variable. worked after that.
