In case you’re trying to configure ht://Check on OS X and running into

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_init
  Referenced from: /usr/local/htcheck/lib/htcheck/libhtmysql-1.2.4.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _mysql_init
  Referenced from: /usr/local/htcheck/lib/htcheck/libhtmysql-1.2.4.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

or you’re getting this when you try to make

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_compress
_uncompress
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Then compile like this:

export EXTRA_LIBS='-lz'
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/htcheck --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-static --disable-shared
make
sudo make install

..and you’ll save yourself a few hours’ frustration.
