Hi Rudi,

The best way is to get libmysql.dll library from mysql server
installation. You have to put this file directly to Lazarus main
directory. As far as I know the best way is to use libmysql.dll from
any mysql 4.0.x server (when using SQLdb component)

regards,

Sainty

I have same incident with SQLdb component (or mysql component) .

I tested fewer version of libmysql.dll (4.0.0 / 4.0.0a / 4.0.23 /
4.0.26) and error occurs (ss_clear / server_init error)

I used Lazarus 0.9.10b (french) / Win32.

I despair  :cry:

I've just installed MySQL 5 and the lazarus from
Lazarus-0.9.11-20060203-win32.exe has a TMySQL50Connection that I use
and it worked.

Arg...Don't work!  :shock:

Hum, i will uninstall old version to see.
