Sphinx: libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit) is needed

  • 772

Can't find a way to install sphinx. It's asking for libmysqlclient.so.15, which I have... What else can i do?

This is what I've tried already

[root@server1 ~]# rpm -ivh sphinx-2.0.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit) is needed by sphinx-2.0.3-1.rhel5.x86_64
        libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit) is needed by sphinx-2.0.3-1.rhel5.x86_64

[root@server3 hooks]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so*

    Try installing the Mysql-shared-compat if there is one

    install the old centos 5 mysqlclient15 rpm from remi to make this work.
