Hi and welcome to devnet,

On what OS are you running digiKam ?

Swati · S SGaist 9 Apr 2016, 21:43

@SGaist I use Kubuntu 15.10

@sierdzio I've installed libqt5sql5-mysql is installed on my system.

Anything else I need to install?

Did you build digiKam yourself ?

Swati · S SGaist 6 May 2016, 20:49

@SGaist Yes, I built digiKam myself.

With which version of Qt ?

Swati · S SGaist 6 May 2016, 20:56

@SGaist Qt 5.6.0

Okay, so what you are likely experimenting is that you have a version of MySQL different than the one used to build the plugin. Currently you likely have the version 18 of the client library and the module was built with 16.

Now you have two options:

Rebuild the plugin for your 5.6
Use your distribution Qt 5 to build digiKam

@SGaist Could you elaborate a little on how to accomplish these?
It would be a help.

Thanks

@Swati

See the link I posted in my first reply to you - contains detailed instructions.
Install dev packages of Qt (in *buntu 15.10 I think they were named qt5-qmake-dev, but might be something else, they keep changing the package names :-/), then compile DigiKam using system Qt (qmake will be in PATH).
