it seems you don't have mysql installed. please upgrade your portage, and then repeat this, if it still fails, emerge mysql then try yet again.

[Comment 2 Daniel Harik 2004-01-11 06:11:32 UTC]

I havent used portage to install mysql, i've tryind doing make manually, still i'm getting this error, though mysql  is installed  default location.

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2004-01-11 13:56:57 UTC]

it won't work with mysql's upstream default location, as pam_mysql expects that you are using the instance of mysql in the portage tree so that it knows where everything it needs is.

why haven't you used the copy of mysql in the portage tree, any specific shortcomings it has that you need?

[Comment 4 Daniel Harik 2004-01-11 23:02:24 UTC]

just too many mysql releases by gentoo guys :)
dont feal like recompiling it 10 times per release on production server :(
no offense, same with postfix, everytime i remerge new postfix my config is messed up

[Comment 5 Robin Johnson 2004-01-12 00:44:32 UTC]

just because there is a new version available, doesn't mean you have to upgrade it.

i've got boxes still running mysql-4.0.11 because they are production and there has been no suitable time to take them offline long enough for that upgrade yet.

mysql has very few revisions by us compared to some other packages, it really won't hurt you to use it, and as for the config stuff, just don't overwrite your config when you do etc-update.

if you wish to persist in using a custom mysql, play with the pam_mysql ebuild yourself, you need to add the library path for mysqlclient into it, as "-L...."
