[Pdns-users] configure: error: Did not find the mysql library dir in /usr/lib/mysql

[Cliff Hayes]

Oops ... my previous email showed the wrong directory /usr ... that was 
one of many failed experiments ... this one has the correct directory 
/var ...

Thanks for the advice.
I did this...
dnf install mariadb-devel
...which gave me these...
mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.6-2.fc28.x86_64.rpm
mariadb-devel-10.2.19-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm

Unfortunately I still have the same problem.
