I triead 1.1.38 spine but no luck.
I got 1.1.37 cacti via yum install so I tried spine of same version.

I see gcc error - but I am able to complie simple .c program and run it.

[netniV]

The compiler issue is normally because of a 32-bit/64-bit compiler issue. Make sure you have the correct bit version of your compiler installed. Also, make sure you have a compiler system installed at all, as sometimes you can have gcc but weirdly it's not the full build system.

Debian has a group package called build-essentails (I think). Other systems have similar things.

[mmandrino]

!!SOLVED!!

Thank you very much netniV

I added some devel packages I found installed on a working cacti server:

libdb-devel.x86 httpd-devel net-snmp-devel openssl-devel perl-devel rpm-devel

and it works, at least i get past the first problem - then the error was: Cannot find MySQL headers. To solve this one just install mariadb-devel.x86_64 package.

Thank you again netniV for pointing me in devel package direction.

In case you want to create a rpm package for spine, you can use a *.spec file like this:
(didn't find any on the web, so created one of my own. The BuildRequires should be complete, they pull a bunch of other packages as dependency)
It's made on/for CentOS 7.

Hello everyone.

I found this topic because I have a similar problem.
- System is Linux Mint 19
- Php 7.2.7-1
- Mariadb 10.3.8
- Apache2 2.4.33

And getting the same error "configure: error: Cannot find MySQL headers. Use --with-mysql= to specify non-default path." by configuring the compiler.

My system also doesn't have the mysql.h

Could you please support me to get this problem fixed?

[netniV]

You need to include the devel libraries which is explained in various documentation (including my wiki blow). It doesn't cover Mint itself but does show various other flavours and what to use.

[ThomasH]

Thanks for your reply.
The devel-package is not usable for ubuntu derivates
https://pkgs.org/download/mariadb-devel

Could you please give me a hint what is the suitable developer package for ubuntu?

[netniV]

I'll do some investigation as I thought I had it on my development wiki but I can't seem to find it.

[netniV]

I've added a section to my Wiki that may help:
https://github.com/netniV/cacti/wiki/Te ... ent:-Spine

[ThomasH]

Thank you for your help and documentation.
I also got a solution by "apt-get install libmariadb-dev-compat"
And for snmp also "apt-get install libsnmp-dev"

[netniV]

Thanks, I already had the snmp-dev but I've added MariaDB to the notes too.

so I know this is a new topic but I'm trying to migrate from 8.8b server to 1.1.38 server and am trying to install spine and am getting the following errors when installing spine 1.1.38

RHEL 7

I'm running mariaDB 10.3

and have verified all the spine requirements are installed.

Nothing to do


Any suggestions?

[netniV]

It generally means that the mysql client libraries are not being found in your library path. Make sure that you have all the suggested packages from my wiki installed and see if you can locate the .so library.

[rmcdonald]

How do I search for the .so library? I believe I did install all the dependicies in your wiki.

sudo yum install mysql-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, search-disabled-repos
Package MariaDB-devel-10.3.10-1.el7.centos.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Am I missing something?

[rmcdonald]

Per usual I found the fix in another post
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58015


Here is the fix

/usr/lib64

ln -s libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 libmysqlclient.so
