I have installed Lazarus 64Bit on Suse: Works out of the box.
Connecting to Mariadb or Mysql I get a message however.
'LibMysqlClient.so.18 is missing'.
In Windows, I know exactly what to do (copy the rigth LibMySQL.dll to the correct directory)
In Linux, I am stuck. Mainly because I am no expert to this OS.
I see that in my documents files, a compiled version of my program is stored. Hence I thought to copy LibMysqlClient.so.18 there.
I encounter a problem though: I can only find libMySQL.RPM-files, not the Lib....so.18 file. If I doubleclick the RPM, 'something' happens, but I cannot find the installed package after installation.
Questions:
Could it be so simple as in Windows: copy one file to the right location and get going?
Is there maybe a standard way to install this library?
Thanks
