问题
I have a running (in production) mysql instance on my linux server (ubuntu-10.10) however I cannot find my mysql_config file.
command and output:
~$ locate mysql_config
~$
I've heard/read that I need the libmysqlclient-dev package installed to be able to use mysql_config but I don't want to break my current production instance. I want to make sure installing this dev package is not going to have adverse effects on my current mysql databases.
Furthermore, where can I find the source download for libmysqlclient-dev to install manually? In my current situation (behind corporate proxy) I am not permitted to use apt-get's.
UPDATE
this is stemming from attempting to install python-MySQLdb from source. the setup.py file is requiring the mysql_config path and continues to break when trying to use anything but that file.
回答1:
The mysql_config executable is by default located in the bin directory of the MySQL server installation if you install it from precompiled binaries. But if you install it using apt-get it may not exist on your server.
Try:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

yum install mariadb-devel works for Centos 7 too, this puts the mysql_config into all the places that pip install mysqlclient requires/looks for it.
回答3:
In Ubuntu 13.04 installation, it is at /usr/bin/mysql_config
回答4:
Try /etc/my.cnf, that is the standard file for mysql config.
回答5:
You can also do:
find / -name my.cnf -type f
回答6:
On Fedora, install the mariadb-devel package, and you should have the binary.
