First of all: I'm not sure this is the right place for questions, but I haven't found a better place.
Since replacing mysql 5.1 with MariaDB 5.5 several of my perl scripts don't work anymore.
Today I was trying to configure SPhinx with RT (Request Tracker from Best Practical), but when i launch the rt-setup-fulltext-index script I get this output:
------------------------------------
root@dvopendb2:/opt/rt4# ./sbin/rt-setup-fulltext-index
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0> /i86pc-solaris-64int/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libmysqlclient.so.16: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/perl5/5.10.0/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/DynaLoader.pm line 203.
at (eval 85) line 3.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 85) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 103.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./sbin/rt-setup-fulltext-index line 81.
------------------------------------
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance. Bye Cris
maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net would be a good place to ask questions like that.
Anyway...
It looks like your problem is not caused by MySQL->MariaDB migration, but by 5.1->5.5 migration. You would've had the same issue if you'd upgraded to MySQL-5.5.
Your DBD::mysql is linked with the old libmysqlclient library. You can either recompile it against the new client library (libmysqlclient.so.18) or install MariaDB-compat package with the 5.1-compatible client library.
Thank you Sergii for your help.
There's no MariaDB-compat in OpenIndiana's repositories. Actually I had to install MariaDB from the binary release for Solaris 10 on MariaDB web site.
I think I'll try to recompile.
Bye
