Troubleshooting

MySQL

BOINC gets MySQL compiler and linker flags from a program called mysql_config which comes with your MySQL distribution. This sometimes references libraries that are not part of your base system installation, such as -lnsl or -lnss_files. You may need to install additional packages (often you can use something called "mysql-dev" or "mysql-devel") or fiddle with Makefiles.
