hello
I want to link my website to my irc service. Anope was suggested to me as one of the best collection of services and it had native mysql support which provides excelent oppertunity to interface it whith other systems.
I am new to manageing irc services and its been a steep learning curve but through documnetation and no small amount of help im getting at it.
however i hit a dead end aperantly,
I compiled anope but once i wanted to get to use its mysql features figured out it was compiles whithoud mysql support. so i set out to recompile but noticed I could not get it to detect mysql.
I have lookt in the mysql docs wiki and forums and from what I understand I dont have the right librarys installed but I cant seem to find the right ones.
ok so what am I using.
distro Debian
IRCD Unreal3.2
I also have (and intend to use) the mysql install that comes with Lampp latest version from thier website.
now when I run the config script it keeps coming up with mysql=no
running "make distclean" (its mentiond in docs/MYSQL) doestn seem to help solve it.
I have tryed a number of difrent mysql instalations in paralel to the mysql of Lampp couse the config script doesnt seem to detect that (schouldnt matter where it gets the libs from mysql would still work fine)
so I dit apt-get install mysql-client no dice so added apt-get install mysql-server
eventualy i got the full package from the mysql website but that didnt seem to work ether. in the forums apt-get install mysql-dev (or devel or develop) but Debian comes up empty for those packages.
So what package can i get from where that will provide me with the right libraries for anope to be able to compile with mysql support?
It would be greatly apriciated, before i pull outwhat little hair i have left
