[Pdns-users] 3.0-rc3 libmysqlclient.so error on Debian "squeeze"

[Seth Mattinen]

I just tried the i386 .deb on a test server; doesn't seem to want to start:

timmy:~# wget
http://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/deb/pdns-static_3.0-rc3-1_i386.deb
timmy:~# dpkg -i pdns-static_3.0-rc3-1_i386.deb

timmy:~# pdns_server
pdns_server: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

timmy:~# ls /usr/lib/ | grep mysql
libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient.la
libmysqlclient_r.a
libmysqlclient_r.la
libmysqlclient_r.so
libmysqlclient_r.so.16
libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0
libmysqlclient.so
libmysqlclient.so.16
libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0


This seems to be an issue only on a Debian 6.0 "squeeze" system. It
starts fine on the previous Debian stable (5.0 "lenny" has package
libmysqlclient15off vs new libmysqlclient16). Possibly an issue with the
mysql library version on squeeze compared to lenny? Let me know what you
need to know to troubleshoot this or what you'd like me to test.
