I’m following this tutorial: http://hughevans.net/2009/03/10/thinking-sphinx-dreamhost

I’m run into an issue when I run:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/ --exec-prefix=$HOME/local/

I get an error: “cannot find MySQL include files.”

I’ve checked and cant find mysql_config, so I’m guessing the mysql-devel package isn’t installed.

My next step is to install the mysql-devel package from source, but I’m thinking that I may be missing something.

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

    I solved my problem by using a different user with root access.

    With that user I installed sphinx with APT.

    sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch
