hello I am a new rsyslog user from china
I find this fourm from google
I hope you can solve my problem tks

I have download rsyslog-3.18.2 for my RHEL AS4 kernel 2.6.9-42
I have installed mysql-5.0.22.tar.gz as well as MySQL-devel-5.0.22-0.i386.rpm and MySQL-client-5.0.22-0.i386.rpm
mysql runs well
while i was install rsyslog-3.18.2,but the error appeared

./configure --enable-mysql

checking mysql/mysql.h usability... yes
checking mysql/mysql.h presence... yes
checking for mysql/mysql.h... yes
checking for mysql_config... yes
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: MySQL library is missing
See `config.log' for more details.

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Can you post the results of:
echo $LDFLAGS
ldconfig -v | grep -E "^/|mysql"

Also, look through config.log for where things start failing. This should point you in the right direction.

-HKS

This most often means that the MySQL development package is missing. (often named mysql-devel or something similar).

Had the same problem. posted the solution here
