libmysqlclient.a is nowhere to be found
问题 On an Amazon EC2 ( uname -r gives "3.4.37-40.44.amzn1.x86_64", which I hear is based on Cent OS) I tried installing: yum install mysql yum install mysql-devel And even yum install mysql-libs (Due to this thread.) I'm trying to compile a program and link the MySQL libraries to it. This works fine on my Mac, (but the Mac has libmysqlclient.a ). libmysqlclient.a is absolutely nowhere to be found on this machine. All it has is libmysqlclient.so , and many versions of it too. $ sudo find / -name
