Description
when installing pypi pkg mariadb
it fails with "OSError: mariadb_config not found"
Wouldn't it be good to be able to install the package without this dependency (outside the package delivered files)?
/bin/sh: mariadb_config: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 5, in <module>
File "setup.py", line 26, in <module>
cfg = get_config(options)
File "/build/mariadb-1.0.1/mariadb_posix.py", line 51, in get_config
cc_version = mariadb_config(config_prg, "cc_version")
File "/build/mariadb-1.0.1/mariadb_posix.py", line 28, in mariadb_config
raise EnvironmentError(
OSError: mariadb_config not found.
Please make sure, that MariaDB Connector/C is installed on your system, edit the configuration file 'site.cfg' and set the 'mariadb_config'
option, which should point to the mariadb_config utility.

Won't I make sense that the package is not depending on previous installed libraries?

distro:
NixOS
- system: `"x86_64-linux"`
- host os: `Linux 5.7.10, NixOS, 20.03.2652.076c67fdea6 (Markhor)`
- multi-user?: `yes`
- sandbox: `yes`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.4pre20200622_334e26b`
As mentioned in the documentation, as a prerequisite you have to install MariaDB Connector/C. Latest version is available on the MariaDB download site
I'm using NixOS, I would need a link to the Github repo.
The download file does not help
My question is, why you need that external dependency, wouldn't it be better to have all dependencies in the package? (Would be "cleaner", no?)
Martine, mariadb_config is an external file provided by another package.
What is your linux distro?
If you're using CentOS, you can find it with
yum whatprovides mariadb_config
