Subject: Re: Using Mkmf to Verify Libraries

> I have two identical machines.<BR><BR>  Careful, 'identical' means the md5sum of all disks match and the hardware is the same. That's hard ;-)...<BR><BR>> On machine 1:<BR>> find_library('mysqlclient', 'mysql_query', '/path/to/lib')  =>  true<BR>> On machine 2:<BR>> find_library('mysqlclient', 'mysql_query', '/path/to/lib')  =>  false<BR>> libmysqlclient.a is installed in the exact same location on both <BR>> machines.<BR><BR>  There are several things that could be causing this. First, are you sure that the rbconfig.rb files are the same in both machines ? There are several path stored in this file. Moreover, mkmf is aware of some environment variables. Check first that <BR>set <BR>and <BR>ruby -r rbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG' <BR>gives you the same things. If not, it should be easy to track the problem.<BR><BR>  Cheers,<BR><BR>      Vince
