problems accessing mySQL-DB on other machine [SOLVED]

[hy]

Hi, I switched from Debian sid to stable (MX) and now lazarus complains during mysql-access to database:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Can not load default MySQL library ("libmysqlclient.so.20" or "libmysqlclient.so"). Check your installation.

mySQL is installed in MX and the database is up and running (on another machine)
the file libmysqlclient* is nowhere to be found.
any help apreciated
==============
[EDIT:] the solution was to install libmariadb-dev

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. apt install libmariadb-dev

Set a symlink to the missing libmysqlclient

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmariadb.so.3 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so

Change the property of TMySQL57connection SkipLibraryVersionCheck := true;
