I have installed MySQL4.0.21 (downloaded from
mysql-4.0.21-sol8-sparc-local.gz @sunfreeware.com.) Now I am
encountering problem when installing the MySQL-Python1.2.0 extension.
It complains that libmysqlclient_r.so not found. Is it possible to
create a share object using libtool? If so, how do I build the share
object using libtool? Please advise, thank you!

Addition to the qustion above. Here are what I have in the mysql lib
directory:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mysql 15360 Oct 7 2004 libdbug.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 mysql 32440 Oct 7 2004 libheap.a

'man libtool'

i've never seen a libtool man page. there's not one in libtool-1.5.10.



this is probably not feasible unless you have the source code.
if you only have the lib*.a files, i think you're doomed.

if you can get source, i'd say the easiest thing would
be to write a configure.ac and Makefile.am.
use autoconf, automake.

in configure.ac:

AC_INIT([ymmv][0],[hoodat])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
whatever...
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
whatever....
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT

in Makefile.am:

noinst_LTLIBRARIES= libxxx.la
libxxx_la_SOURCES=the sources

let the scripts figure it out.
