Hi, I need to install the development packages of mysqlclient on SLES 11.2 SP2 586. I noticed that there is a package on the SLES 11.2 SDK DVD named: libmysqlclient-devel-5.0.67.13.15.i586.rpm When I try to install it it complains that I don’t have the correct version of libmysqlclient because mine is at version 5.5.0.96. How do I install the headers? Thanks in advance. ---

Hi Is the system activated? If you add the SLE SDK via YaST add on product it should pull in the update repositories which should contain the updated devel package. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.7.10-1.11-desktop up 2:57, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.18, 0.15 CPU AMD Athlon™ II P360@2.30GHz | GPU Mobility Radeon HD 4200 ---
