QMYSQL : Driver not loaded

[Trav]

Followed that link all the way through and unfortunately I'm still getting the same error as above ^

[Trav]

last command I put in was ''''' install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib libqsqlmysql.dylib '''' I did some research and this seems to be the correct way to be doing it in context of placing the driver i'm not sure whats going on now though from that command it should be working looking in /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17 and running ls i have these files present

cd lib
192:lib trav$ ls
libmysqlclient.20.dylib libmysqld.a plugin
libmysqlclient.a libmysqlservices.a
libmysqlclient.dylib pkgconfig

as well as running cd /usr/local/lib then ls I can see that ( see down) are present along with other ones i only included first 5 just for example

libexiv2.14.0.0.dylib
libexiv2.14.dylib
libexiv2.dylib
libmysqlclient.18.dylib
libmysqlclient.20.dylib

Hi,

What does otool -L libqsqlmysql.dylib return ?

otool -L libqsqlmysql.dylib

Thank you for the reply!

I'm asking you to run otool on the Qt MySQL plugin. The path I've used in the command samples are meant to be replaced by the actual path to where the plugin is located. I don't know where it is on your system, so don't just copy paste the command, update it as well.

[Trav]

@SGaist Sorry was 3 am. Deleted that comment as soon as I knew what I did I updated it immediately though with the correct path ^

trav$ otool -L /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib

Not the MySQL client library, the Qt MySQL plugiin libqsqlmysql.dylib that can be found in the plugins/sqldrivers folder in your Qt installation.

Here's your problem... It is looking for mysql in the /opt/local/lib directory (which is a weird directory), when according to your post above it is in /usr/local/opt/mysql.

Usually people use /usr/local or /opt. I've never seen /opt/local. But it's not like there's set rules for directories or anything, so to each their own.

Anyway use otool to fix those paths and it should work.

[SGaist]

It's not weird for tools that are external to the distribution if we talk Linux style.

In this case, it's macports that is using it like that.

In any cas, the parameters passed to install_name_tool must be correct there's no error message telling you that the paths are invalid.
