Compiling / installing with MariaDB rather than MySQL

3 Jun 2019

      Hi all,

I've tried compiling with MariaDB rather than MySQL, and couldn't due to missing libmysqlclient.

I then decided to give up on compiling from source, and try installing from CentOS' default repo. This failed due to the MySQL driver not existing at its correct path; /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_sql_mysql.so.
I then tried installing from the NetworkRADIUS repo, which also resulted in the MySQL driver not existing at its correct path; /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_sql_mysql.so.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Debug output:
