I'm hoping to volunteer some hosting for the Abyss404 project ( I play over there or did, when it was up) and I'm trying to set up NWNx on my ubuntu (ver. 7.04) linux server

I saw the link for nwnx_easy in someone's sig here and I thought - ooh, easy, hmmm, that sounds good Very Happy

So I'm trying that one... however I am sort of stuck on the pre-installation checklist. The README says

Quote:
Before you install, you will need certain packages. You should install these
before anything else. You will need a C++ compiler, the required C libraries,
the MySQL Client Development libraries and the ZLib development libraries.

On Debian-based systems, you can simply type the following into a terminal:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev
(type your root password, if prompted)



Trouble is, this doesn't work for me. I get this response when I try it.

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
gcc is already the newest version.
Package libmysqlclient-dev is a virtual package provided by:
  libmysqlclient15-dev 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package libmysqlclient-dev has no installation candidate


I looked around in the repositories for 'libmysqlclient-dev' but didn't see anything like that... how can I get the stuff I need installed so I can try the ./install.sh script of nwnx_easy?

Replace libmysqlclient-dev with libmysqlclient15-dev

Thank you Very Happy
