Hola, Fedora folk!
Forgive me for the length of my explanation, chalk it up to trying to find a solution on my own first...
I installed Fedora on a machine to use as a web/database server. As part of the initial OS install , I let Fedora install mysql-3.23.50-something in its 'default' locations. I now want to add the c++ connector to the mysql installation. I dowloaded source rpms from mysql.com. I installed those and now I am following these instructions from linuxgems.com:
1)patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-gcc-3.0.patch 2)patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch 3)patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-gcc-3.2.2.patch 4)patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-prefix.patch 5)patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-versionfix.patch 6)cd mysql++-1.7.9 7)rm Makefile.in aclocal.m4 build.sh config.guess config.h config.status config.sub configure install-sh libtool ltconfig ltmain.sh missing mkinstalldirs stamp* examples/Makefile.in sqlplusint/Makefile.in 8)libtoolize 9)aclocal 10)automake --foreign --add-missing 11)autoconf 12)./configure 13)make
I cannot get this to work. I either choke on the prefix patch or, if I skip that patch, I choke on the ./configure step looking for the mysql components installation.
//--->Errors applying prefix patch: $ patch -p1 -d mysql++-1.7.9 < mysql++-prefix.patch can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- mysql++-1.7.9q/Makefile 2002-10-17 00:12:00.000000000 +0200 |+++ mysql++-1.7.9/Makefile 2002-10-17 15:10:15.000000000 +0200 -------------------------- File to patch: <---//cursor waiting for file input this is the third line of the prefix patch: @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@
//--->Errors on configure if I skip the prefix patch:

Has anybody out there experienced this and found a workaround? Any useful comments and suggestion appreciated.
Thanks! Danny
