Re: Problem installing 0.8.0 on Debian Lenny

[Gurvan Kervern]

I think I found where was the problem : the libevent 1.4-2 from the backports doesn't seem to be fully compatible (there is a event_base_new() function that doesn't seem to be included in this version, or isn't recognized by mysql proxy).

Once I got the library from there :
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
and compiled it, I was able to compile mysql proxy 0.8.0 on Lenny (although I still had some tests failed in the make check)

There was also a few librairies I needed to copy in /usr/local/lib/mysql-proxy/ and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (mysql.chassis, mysql.proxy and one or two others if memory serves)

So far it seems to do the trick.
