Hi there,

I have read that you need a module for using mysql in tcl, but then i have searched for some of them with succes, but none of them will compile correctly. mySQL is installed with RPM is this the problem? Because some documentation says that i need to look for mysql.h, but i don't find it.

Thx for the ones who can help me.

What do you want to do with mysql ?

When installing MySQL using a package, you need to make sure you have both packages.

Package one contains the server from which you can do pretty much everything as a standalone package.

However, mysql.h is required to compile MySQL using applications and modules. This is located in package two and labeled as mysqldev.

i have a learn script for mine bot that reacts on channelmsg that start with !<command> <arg1> <arg2> <arg3>, the bot reacts with <do>. These commands (i called them so) are stored in a file, but i want to put them in a mysql databank (already done), but can't run any mysql module because they don't compile corretly. And i don't have administration rights on the machine where mine shell stands on. For so far i know it is Mandrake with mysql-server installed through rpm-package.

Well, you will need the mySQL headers and librarys if you wanna compile a module using mySQL.

Code: Select all

$ mysql_config

This should show you where the libraries are at, maybe there's something wrong with the Makefile, maybe...
