QMYSQL driver not loaded on Ubuntu

[SGaist]

You didn't answer the questions:
What does ldd return ?

Is the MySql dll folder in your PATH variable ? Or at least in the PATH environment variable in the run section of the Project panel in Qt Creator ?

[A Former User]

For Windows...

MySql dll folder :
I have libmysql.dll and libmysql.lib and mysqlclient.lib here C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib

and I have qsqlmysql.dll and qsqlmysqld.dll and other files in here :

C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0-MG\5.2.0\mingw48_32\plugins\sqldrivers
and
C:\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.0\msvc2012_64\plugins\sqldrivers

and For Linux about ldd :

root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:~# ldd /bin/date
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff31d72000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f0ea438c000)

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f0ea45b5000)

and about MySQL plugin folder and files:

in here :

/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/plugins/sqldrivers .... I have libqsqlmysql.so

[SGaist]

I know where your dlls are. If using 64bit, the question is: is "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib" contained in the PATH environment variable in the Run section on the Project panel in Qt Creator ?

I didn't ask you to run ldd on /bin/date but on your Qt 5.2.0 libqsqlmysql.so

[SGaist]

You already have all the information: call "ldd /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so"

to see what libraries it links to

You have it on the second line:

@libmysqlclient_r.so.16 => not found@

Check what version number of libmysqlclient_r you have installed

You have the version 18 and not the 16.

So two solutions here:

1. find the version 16
2. build the Qt MySQL plugin yourself with this version of the client library (best)

Sorry , but can you help me for find or build qt mysql plugin ?
I run this command : root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro

I think my command is not true ! in QT 5.2 any folders and roots is different...

[SGaist]

did you call make after that ?

[A Former User]

I run first this command : root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:~# cd /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql

after :

root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''
root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql#

Are you sure you are using the right qmake ?

Also, why are you developing as root ?
