Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64 unable to load MariaDB

Hi,

Fresh server install on the linux vps running "Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64" and this error is returned.

[error] Failed loading "mariadb": libmariadbclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

The fix for this error is to create a link from the system library libmariadbclient.so held in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu".

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

sudo ln -s libmariadbclient.so libmariadbclient.so.18

Then it should find the mariadbclient library ok.

Thanks for the info. For everyone else you also need an additional Linux package as described here: https://dev.playonset.com/wiki/MariaDB
