Hello all,
I have lazarus installed on ubuntu 9.10 and cannot connect to xampp (embedded with mysql 5.0) web server. I am using the correct sqldb component (mysql50connection). I can do everything with mysql through the bash shell so I know mysql is installed properly. I put mysql monitor(client), socket, library (/opt/lampp/.. ) in the $PATH on ubuntu. It all works properly EXCEPT when I try to connect to it using lazarus (I get the typical 'cannot find libmsqlclient.so.15' error). As a test, I got rid of xampp and installed mysql-server 5.0 from the Synaptic Package Manager. It works great that way, however, I need to use xampp because this app will be used on another machine that uses this same xampp version (xampp-linux 1.6.8a with embedded mysql 5.0).
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this? Maybe I need to set some environment or path etc. options in lazarus??
