Stan,

On recent Ubuntu (probably Debian too), try installing all 3 of:
 mysql-client
 mysql-server
 libmysqlclient-dev

I also recently updated my personal docs for installing filedrawers when I upgraded 2 servers from Debian 4 to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. Contact me off-list if you'd like a sanitized copy of my instructions. They assume you're comfortable with basic Linux admin tasks.

Fair warning: I include a fair number of patches to the base code and my docs assume this. Some of them are necessary for Ubuntu to do things like display multimedia files correctly. Some are cosmetic (theming the CSS). Others are functional (displaying quotas, adding recursive ACL functions to the permission manager, correct handling of Office 2007 filetypes, etc). Those patches are available too.

Cheers, Stephen

For whatever reason, my filedrawers source directory went away, so my
exact notes are missing (I still have my modwaklog notes, tho).

For filedrawers itself, if you follow the directions on:

http://filedrawers.org/download.php

you'll pretty much get there. The same directions might be in a README
in the filedrawers source as well.

A couple of notes...

1. as the filedrawers web page implies, you do now need a database
(which you didn't need at the time of the other writeups) -- like the
note at the bottom of the page says, the database schema is in the docs
directory of the filedrawers source. It's a rather simple database.

2. the version of Smarty you install matters. IIRC, newer Smarty (v2.x)
was broken, giving nonsensical errors, and I had to go back to v1.x


I actually read those notes and tried a thing or two, but I stuck on
./configure yielding "can't find mysql" - which is installed on my
system; after pointing it to mysql dir and still getting nothing, I
finally found that ./configure looks for something called
"mysql_config" which is nowhere to be found (not even in packages that
are not installed) - and I have no idea, what this binary does. Hence
I ask for help.
