configure: error: Not found mysqlclient library – zabbix


Setting up open-source is always challenging if required libraries, dependencies are not installed on the server.
Sometime it could be frustrating.
I was implementing Zabbix a few weeks back and got this error.
checking for libperfstat 5.2.0.40 fileset...
no checking for libperfstat 5.3.0.60 fileset...
no checking for architecture...
linux (linux-gnu) checking for the linux kernel version... 2.6 family (2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64)
checking for mysql_config... no configure: error: MySQL library not found
Are you also getting the same error?
I spent a few hours finding out how to resolve this so I thought to share it with you.
I used the following configure command.
./configure --with-mysql --enable-server --enable-agent --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl
Solutions

yum install mysql-devel
If using RHEL/CentOS 8, then you can use DNF
dnf install mysql-devel
If you can’t reach the Internet to download the above then you can manually download the below and install them.

Configure again, and it should be ok.
