I'm trying to install the mysqlclient module in a virtual environment on RHEL with Percona clustering running a Mysql db.
Each time it exits with this error
gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-z,relro -g build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6/MySQLdb/_mysql.o -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64
-lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lpython3.6m -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/MySQLdb/_mysql.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
I believe I have the library installed here:
$ ls /usr/lib64/mysql/
libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient_r.so.18.1.0
libmysqlclient.so.18.1.0
libperconaserverclient.a
libmysqlclient_r.a
libmysqlclient.so.18
libmysqlservices.a
libperconaserverclient_r.a
So I'm not sure what the problem is
