Package: libmariadbclient-dev-compat Version: 10.1.26-0+deb9u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, I'm trying to compile a software that requires a mysql client library. CMake is unable to detect that libmariadbclient-dev-compat package is installed on my system, and running pkg-config against the package shows an error: $ pkg-config --cflags mysqlclient Package mysqlclient was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mysqlclient.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'mysqlclient' found It seems to me that libmariadbclient-dev-compat package installs mysqlclient.pc at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, while pkg-config looks for .pc files at /usr/lib/ x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig. When I create a symlink mysqlclient.pc -> mariadb.pc located in /usr/lib/ x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig, pkg-config is now able to detect the package: $ pkg-config --cflags mysqlclient -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql/.. Can you please double-check whether mysqlclient.pc is installed at the proper path?
