I am trying to build tpcc-mysql from source. make prints the error msg “cannot find -lmysqlclient\_r”.

I can see this lib in the /usr/local/mysql/lib, and my PATH is set correctly.

Distrib 5.5.28.

mysqlclient\_r is the thread-safe library. Which Linux distribution are you using? I’m assuming that you are running linux 😉

Also, please check that mysql developer package is installed. For example the name of that package in Debian is libmysqlclient-dev.
