On linux

I installed OpenDBX, checked it work to connect to my remote database

Then check for system awarness of it:

hilaire@tice:~/Documents/Projets/BaseRessources$ ldconfig -p | grep opendbx
�� libopendbxplus.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libopendbxplus.so.1
�� libopendbx.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libopendbx.so.1

Then installed squeakdbx in pharo from universe so ffi is installed as well.

I installed the latest vm (3.10-4 #2) from squeakvm.org web site as my previous vm was apparently without ffi (or could it be the plugin compiled in the VM?).

When trying to connect, I still have 'unable to find function address'.

As you can read in the FAQ, this is because FFI doesn't find openDBX library. Read this link and tell me if it works: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6129#OpenDBX%20and%20FFI

I already check that.

Questions:

- how did you install openDBX ? compile by yourself or binaries ?
- do you have the mysql client library installed ?

I installed opendbx from debian package, so it is in /usr/lib
As I wrote it, Opendbx is working in my station: I can connect to my remote database through the opendbx interactive mode.
mysql client and library are installed of course.

I am curious about how FFI find the library. Does it goes to the ldconfig cache?
Or does it check through preset path.

In doubt I added system wide env variable:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

but it does not help.
