I have been trying to install the Rust Diesel CLI tool using cargo install diesel_cli, but the installation fails with a linking error
ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1
(use -v to see invocation)
I installed the MySQL client using Homebrew: brew install mysql-client. During installation I got the following warning:
mysql-client is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because conflicts with mysql.
If you need to have mysql-client first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For compilers to find mysql-client you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/include”
I set the PATH and flags as in that warning message, but I still get the above linking error when trying to install the diesel-cli tool. I am unfamiliar with how to do linking in Rust - are there extra steps I need to do here to link mysqlclient directly?
Cargo ignores LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, you should set RUSTFLAGS instead. Something like this untested invocation:
RUSTFLAGS="-L/your_lib -I/your_include" cargo install diesel_cli
Relevant documentation.
On my side, I did not make it work with a mysql-client only. I had to install mysql with
brew install mysql
In the end, what matters is that you have a version of the mysqlclient dynamic lib.
Mines where installed here :
/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.15/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib
And it worked.
I need to install mysqlclient module for python3.6 on my CentOS server via pip.
The instalation breaks with following error: OSError: mysql_config not found.
I've found a solution, to install mysql-devel package, but unfortunately it breaks with following error:
Error: mariadb101u-config conflicts with mysql-community-server-8.0.4-0.1.rc.el7.x86_64
Error: mariadb101u-libs conflicts with mysql-community-libs-8.0.4-0.1.rc.el7.x86_64
Error: mariadb101u-libs conflicts with mysql-community-libs-compat-8.0.4-0.1.rc.el7.x86_64
Error: mariadb101u-common conflicts with mysql-community-common-8.0.4-0.1.rc.el7.x86_64
I cannot remove the mysql-community packages, because the server is running MySQL database based on that.
Is there any way to fix it without removing conflicting packets?
Ok, found an answer:
yum install mariadb-devel gcc python36u-devel
Solution by #Djent worked for me.
But I kept on receiving time out error while installing through yum. If you are having the same problem. You can manually download the package and install it!
On CentOS
wget https://archive.mariadb.org/mariadb-10.1.39/yum/centos7-amd64/rpms/MariaDB-10.1.38-centos73-x86_64-devel.rpm
rpm -i MariaDB-10.1.38-centos73-x86_64-devel.rpm
For other linux OS, you can find mariadb-devel at https://pkgs.org/download/mariadb-devel
First run the command (take note of python version):
sudo yum install python36-devel
Then install mysqlclient using pip.
I have tried to install MYSQL 5.6.29 on Linux Centos and installed file "MySQL-shared-5.6.29-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64" but i found its wrong file which i have installed. Now when i am trying to install correct file "MySQL-shared-5.6.29-1.el6.x86_6" then getting below error.
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-shared-5.6.29/README from install of MySQL-shared-5.6.29-1.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package MySQL-shared-5.6.29-
1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64
My installation was incomplete and only able to install 3 rpm packages. I run "yum remove mysql" but its un-install only one package please guide me to find & un-install MYSQL related packages.
issue fixed through these commands:
rpm -qa|grep -i SQL -- find installed rpm packages
rpm -e -- find installed package and then place the package name
rpm -i package_name.rpm -- to install packages
yum remove mysql-libs
For context, it on a remote server which has a firewall. I'm setting up my environment through a proxy. I have ruby 1.8.7. When I try to gem install..
sudo gem install --http-proxy <host address>:<port> json
I get the following error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing json:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.1/ext/json/ext/generator/gem_make.out
Since I was unsure what the problem is, I googled and found these
gem install: Failed to build gem native extension (can't find header files) - the instructions here seem to be specific to the gem being installed.
How to install json gem - Failed to build gem native extension This seems to be slightly different error.
Any hints? Thanks!
Modern era update, as stated by mimoralea:
In case that you are using ruby 2.0 or 2.2 (thanks #patrick-davey).
sudo apt-get install ruby2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby2.2-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby2.3-dev
or, generic way:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
or
sudo apt-get install ruby`ruby -e 'puts RUBY_VERSION[/\d+\.\d+/]'`-dev
The first link you’ve posted is exactly your case: there is no ruby development environment installed. Development env is needed to compile ruby extensions, which are mostly written in C. Proxy has nothing to do with the problem: everything is downloaded fine, just compilation fails.
I would suggest you to install ruby-dev (ruby-devel for rpm-based distros) package onto you target machine.
gcc package might be needed as well.
Try:
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Or, for Redhat distro:
$ sudo yum install ruby-devel
Or, for [open]SuSE:
$ sudo zypper install ruby-devel
For Xcode 11 on macOS 10.14, this can happen even after installing Xcode and installing command-line tools and accepting the license with
sudo xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
The issue is that Xcode 11 ships the macOS 10.15 SDK which includes headers for ruby2.6, but not for macOS 10.14's ruby2.3. You can verify that this is your problem by running
ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts RbConfig::CONFIG["rubyhdrdir"]'
which on macOS 10.14 with Xcode 11 prints the non-existent path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/include/ruby-2.3.0
However, Xcode 11 installs a macOS 10.14 SDK within /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOS10.14.sdk. It isn't necessary to pollute the system directories by installing the old header files as suggested in other answers. Instead, by selecting that SDK, the appropriate ruby2.3 headers will be found:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts RbConfig::CONFIG["rubyhdrdir"]'
This should now correctly print
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/include/ruby-2.3.0
Likewise, gem install should work while that SDK is selected.
To switch back to the current Xcode SDK, use
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
In case that you are using ruby 2.0 or 2.2 (thanks #patrick-davey) or 2.3 (thanks #juanitofatas).
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby2.2-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby2.3-dev
And you get the pattern here...
I also encountered this problem because I install Ruby on Ubuntu via brightbox, and I thought ruby-dev is the trunk of ruby. So I did not install. Install ruby2.3-dev fixes it:
sudo apt-get install ruby2.3-dev
For those who are getting this on Mac OS X you may need to run the following command to install the XCode command-line tools, even if you already have XCode installed:
sudo xcode-select --install
Also you must agree the terms and conditions of XCode by running the following command:
sudo xcodebuild -license
I had a similar problem using cygwin to run the following command:
$ gem install rerun
I solved it by installing the following cygwin packages:
ruby-devel
libffi-devel
gcc-core
gcc-g++
make
automake1.15
Most voted solution didn't work on my machine (linux mint 18.04).
After a careful look, i found that g++ was missing.
Solved with
sudo apt-get install g++
in case you use SUSE
sudo yast2 -i ruby-devel
Xcode 11 / macOS Catalina
On Xcode 11 / macOS Catalina, the header files are no longer in the old location and the old /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg file is no longer available.
Instead, the headers are now installed to the /usr/include directory of the current SDK path:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include
Most of this directory can be found by using the output of xcrun --show-sdk-path. And if you add this path to the CPATH environment variable, then build scripts (including those called via bundle) will generally be able to find it.
I resolved this by setting my CPATH in my .zshrc file:
export CPATH="$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include"
After opening a new shell (or running source .zshrc), I no longer receive the error message mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h and the rubygems install properly.
Note on Building to Non-macOS Platforms
If you are building to non-macOS platforms, such as iOS/tvOS/watchOS, this change will attempt to include the macOS SDK in those platforms, causing build errors. To resolve, either don't set CPATH environment variable on login, or temporarily set it to blank when running xcodebuild like so:
CPATH="" xcodebuild --some-args
In Fedora 21 and up, you simply open a terminal and install the Ruby Development files as root.
dnf install ruby-devel
On Mac 10.14, the header files don't seem to be installed in the correct place. Rather than changing paths like the other fixes, I was able to just run this:
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
Follow the instructions and it resolved this problem for me.
You may need to install gcc after install ruby-devel
Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations
change Command Line Tools to Xcode 11.2.1
You need to install the entire ruby and not just the minimum package. The correct command to use is:
sudo apt install ruby-full
The following command will also not install a complete ruby:
sudo apt-get install ruby2.3-dev
For Ubuntu 18, after checking log file mentioned while install
Results logged to /var/canvas/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.5.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.5.0/nio4r-2.5.2/gem_make.out
with
less /var/canvas/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.5.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.5.0/nio4r-2.5.2/gem_make.out
I noticed that make is not found. So installed make by
sudo apt-get install make
everything worked.
I faced a similar issue on Xcode 12 with macOS 10.15 and cocoapods. Just make sure that the xcode-select command points to the SDK you want to build against. It should build without issues afterwards.
BEFORE you follow the tip from Joki's answer (below) and IF :
you have MacOS 10.14.6
at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ you have folders
MacOSX.sdk(symbolic), MacOSX10.14.sdk, MacOSX10.15.sdk
Move MacOSX10.15.sdk to anywhere (admin privileges needs)
Delete symbolic link (admin privileges needs)
At /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ create another symbolic link now to MacOSX10.14.sdk folder using (admin privileges needs)
sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk MacOSX.sdk
Now you can follow Joki's answer
WARNING!
If you move MacOSX10.15.sdk folder to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ again, the command
ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts RbConfig::CONFIG["rubyhdrdir"]'
will show MacOSX10.15.sdk folder like default again, nowadays I dunno how to fix it! My suggestion, compress the folder and put the original folder until fix will be available.
macOS RubyMine Gem installation failure
My problem with this error message was when trying to install a Gem via RubyMine. It didn't like that I had changed the global Ruby version with rbenv, so I fixed it by changing back to the system default Ruby version with:
rbenv global system
and restarted RubyMine.
sudo apt-get --reinstall install ruby
try it for ubuntu 16.04
I'm trying to compile a C++ program and one of the classes uses . g++ is not able to find the libraries would be my guess. The command i use to compile is -
g++ c1.cpp c2.cpp c3.cpp c4.cpp -o c4 -lm -lmysqlclient
c3.cpp is the file that needs mysql.h. This works perfectly on my local machine, but refuses to run on the server with the error
cannot find -lmysqlclient
I tried finding the libmysqlclient.so files on the server using the find command, I don't think they are present there
uname -a
reveals
SunOS opteron 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
user#opteron 12:26:02 ~/c++/projname/
I realize that i need to link some libraries, but where and how?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Whatever library packages u think is not installed can be installed using sudo apt-get install. But the problem is to find the right name of the package apt-get can understand. So how to do that ?! simple
use command : sudo apt-cache search <filename>
For eg.: in this case lmysqlclient
sudo apt-cache search mysqlclient
(remember to exclude 'l' from the actual name ,ie, mysqlclient and not lmysqlclient).
This outputs:
libmysqlclient-dev - MySQL database development files
In the above -libmysqlclient-dev is the name that apt-get can recognize and solve our cannot find lmysqlclient problem
so now type: sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev from interface.
After its done, try making your required file.
Simplifying #SriHariY.S's answer-
Try installing it with sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev.
Do you have the MySQL client libraries? Can you look for it as
find / -name "libmysqlclient.so" -type f -print 2>/dev/null
Also, you can use the -R flag on linker to hardlink the libmysqlclient as
g++ -R/usr/local/mysql/lib ....
Or, you can export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 or LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 as
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32=$MYSQL_HOME/lib
Urko,
On Ubuntu 18 I used this command to find a name of required package for fixing this error:
apt search lmysqlclient
After this I installed missing package:
sudo apt install libmariadbclient-dev-compat
