/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient i don't think this bug is dup of #78724 or #78678 which was years ago see /usr/portage/mail-mta/postfix/postfix-2.5.5.ebuild if use mysql ; then mycc="${mycc} -DHAS_MYSQL $(mysql_config --include)" mylibs="${mylibs} -lmysqlclient -lm -lz" fi if use postgres ; then mycc="${mycc} -DHAS_PGSQL -I$(pg_config --includedir)" mylibs="${mylibs} -lpq -L$(pg_config --libdir)" fi there is -L for postgres, but why not for mysql? simply because there's no --libdir option for mysql_config does not mean it will work without -L Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: == error output from emerging postfix ============ x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAS_PCRE -DHAS_MYSQL

Please post your 'emerge --info' output. Good observation about the discrepency between postgreql and mysql flags, seems like 'mysql_config --libs' would be a useful equivalent; we'll see what the net-mail team has to say after you post 'emerge --info' :)
(In reply to comment #1) > Please post your 'emerge --info' output. Timeout. Provide the requested information and feel free to reopen this bug then. Please also check if you have /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so which should be a link to mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 and note which mysql version you're using.
Created attachment 176562 [details] emerge --info
sorry, i didn't get the notify email about this bug status change emerge --info output is attached, but i've upgraded mysql some time ago. looks like it is fixed # equery files mysql |grep mysqlclient /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15.0 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.15 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.la /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.la /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0
