Newby to Suse Leap
lazarus / 1-Linux

I have installed Lazarus 64Bit on Suse: Works out of the box.
Connecting to Mariadb or Mysql I get a message however.
'LibMysqlClient.so.18 is missing'.

In Windows, I know exactly what to do (copy the rigth LibMySQL.dll to
the correct directory)
In Linux, I am stuck. Mainly because I am no expert to this OS.

I see that in my documents files, a compiled version of my program is
stored. Hence I thought to copy LibMysqlClient.so.18 there.
I encounter a problem though: I can only find libMySQL.RPM-files, not
the Lib....so.18 file. If I doubleclick the RPM, 'something' happens,
but I cannot find the installed package after installation.

Questions:
Could it be so simple as in Windows: copy one file to the right
location and get going?
Is there maybe a standard way to install this library?

Thanks

Run your package manager (YaST I don't remember which it is in Suse)
and check whether you have installed MySQL or MariaDB. If not, install
them.

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i yum install

Thanks guys, the problem is solved.
With 'software installer' I could see that the library was installed
in usr/lib64.
I copied the library to my document directory, job done.

@lucamar: by checking yast, I found what I couldn't find otherwise.
@nouzi: your solution looks straight to the point. I solved it before
I could try your idea.

Thanks
