need the mysql dev libs

on installing ive 'mysql_config --cflag' which then returns....

-I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing

Ive looked in /include, no mysql there from what im seeing :/

im trying to install libraries from mysql site, but hitting alot of failed dependancy errors and conflicts at the mo.

Any advice greatfully received :)

Many thanks

I would suggest using Debian Linux for the server. I have been testing out a lot of different versions of linux, specifically looking for something that will run nicly on older hardware, and the best one I have found so far is Debian 3.1. The latest release does not come with MySql 5 but you can get that from here http://dotdeb.org made specifically for Debian. If you are not interesting in MySql 5 then Debian 3.1 comes with MySql 4.0.24. I was able to install MySql download the server files and compile the Emu with out any problems. Debian runs great on my pathetic 400Mhz Pentium Celeron (Yeah, I said Celeron) laptop with 128MB Ram.

Of course it is all up to you and what you are more comfortable with in the end, I just thought that I would share my thoughts.

I agree totally sesmar, with his stable system, debian (name of distrib is sarge) is very good for make a eqemu server.

I like Redhat Enterprise Linux... CentOS, Fedora is okay, but I have had problems with the packages bundled.
I like SuSe for desktop linux.

gentoo.org for the win..8) you only install what you want.. no extra bloated things you dont need or want
