Lazarus 9.30.2-2 and MySQL 5.5.24

While it is fixed, you can use ZeosLib from

I am using Zeos in the past 5 years and it works perfectly. The latest 7.0.1beta is 100% stable for me both on Win32/Win64 and Linux32/Linux64.

Lazarus 1.0.4 does not have TMySQL55Connect.  Where do I get this component?

Looking into the way you seem to be reading the wiki articles, I suggest you don't. Just use the 5.1 DLL.

I have had this problem when writing using Lazarus on Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04.  The way I solved it was found the correct version on the web and downloaded it, putting it with the other mysql .so files.

Good luck

If you use FPC and Lazarus from SVN or RCs, it wouldn't be a problem here either.

The problem is that mysql is chronically incompatible to itself, and the updates that fix that on FPC are in sync with yearly refresh cycles.
