# dmesg -a <snip> sendmail /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmysqlclient.so.10" not found
Sendmail works fine (the fact that you're reading this is proof) after I: ================================== I don't know why Sendmail would fail from this but I'll bet that if you try to use your mysql client you'll get a nasty surprise. ================================== #cd /etc/mail #make start I think...hrm...missing library. So I do: #ldconfig -r <snip> 84:-lmysqlclient.10 => /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10 so the library is there, but it seems it's not seeing it at startup. ================================== I've had this happen a few times. Basically my lib wasn't in my PATH. Try doing a "echo $PATH" and see if BSD will find it by default. The quickest remedy for this was to copy the lib to a place that BSD *will* see it. ================================== I've done a pretty extensive google search and I've found a few occurances of this. There are only two types of replies: nothing, or the poster is told to check /etc/ld.so.conf and add the location of the lib to that file. Unfortunately, I don't have a /etd/ld.so.conf and creating it does nothing. I only have /var/run/ld.so.hints and that appears to be a binary. Can anyone help me fix this? ================================== We try and leave that funny ld.so.conf stuff to the Linux kids. ;-) ================================== ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- If you give a man a fish, he can eat for a day If you bludgeon him to death, you can eat the fish yourself ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
