/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmariadb

[Gio]

When trying to execute the make command I ending up with the following error:

Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/piler-1.3.8/src' gcc -std=c99 -O2 -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -Wuninitialized -Wno-format-truncation -g -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql/mysql -D_GNU_SOURCE -DHAVE_TRE -DNEED_MYSQL -o piler piler.c -lpiler -lz -lm -ldl -lcrypto -lssl -ltre -lzip -lwrap -lnsl -L/usr/lib64/ -lmariadb -L. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmariadb collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [piler] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/usr/src/piler-1.3.8/src'

I’m using 10.4.13-MariaDB

What am I doing wrong. This is the first time that I’m installing Piler. It is installed on CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)

When I run ./configure --localstatedir=/var --with-database=mysql it doesn’t show an error

Figure out which package ships /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmariadb.so for your distro, then try installing it.

Hi Janos,

As I’m using MariaDB 10.4.13 I found that I was able to install the libmariadb.so with the following command:

'yum install MariaDB-shared'

After installation I was able to complete 'make' and perform a 'make install'

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Regards,

Gio

Hi Janos,

As I mentioned above I was able to perform a ‘make install’. This went perfectly well and didn’t gave any errors. After that I followed http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:installation and did a ldconfig (also no error)

As the manual say’s I would like to perform a ‘make postinstall’ but that doesn’t work. I get the following message:

[root@piler piler-1.3.8]# make postinstall
make: *** [postinstall] Error 1

I did a search on the server and found a postinstall.sh at:
./proc/26135/task/26135/cwd/util/
./usr/local/libexec/piler/
I’m trying to install piler version 1.3.8

When I perform a ls in the piler-1.3.8 folder then I get the following:

[root@piler piler-1.3.8]# ls
aclocal.m4 config.status CREDITS install-sh mkinstalldirs piler-config.h.in stamp-h1 unit_tests
bitbucket-pipelines.yml configure docker LICENSE params.h README systemd util
config.log configure.in etc Makefile phpunit.xml RELEASE_NOTES test_files VERSION
config.php.in contrib init.d Makefile.in piler-config.h src tests webui

I was expecting to find the postinstall.sh script here.

I tried to run the postinstall.sh script which I found at ./usr/local/libexec/piler/ but that gives the following message:
[root@piler piler]# make postinstall
cat postinstall.sh >postinstall
chmod a+x postinstall

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,

Gio

Possible. What does execute the “cat postinstall >postinstall” stuff?

‘make postinstall' should run 'bash util/postinstall.sh’. Try running this command.
