Description Nathan Phillip Brink (binki) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

When trying to compile dev-tcltk/mysqltcl-3.05, I get the following error:
checking for build with symbols... no
checking for mysql header... yes
checking for libmysqlclient lib... configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient.so in /usr/lib/mysql use --with-mysql-lib=?

I tried adding --with-mysql-lib=/usr/$(get_libdir)/mysql and I had a successful installation. I have this problem because I don't have /usr/lib linked to /usr/lib64 and mysqltcl's configure only checks /usr/lib/mysql.

I will attach the patch that fixed this problem for me.
