[SOLVED] pure-ftpd no longer works after system update

Hi,

I made a system update today and since pure-ftpd doesn't want to start it just display "[FAIL]" but I don't have any error message.
Is it possible to see the the error log of pure-ftpd ?
Do you have any idea of how getting it working again?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] pure-ftpd no longer works after system update

I tried to check the version of pure-ftpd: pure-ftpd -V and it replies:

pure-ftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but mysql client is installed properly! I tried to reinstall it but it changed nothing

I think the "correct" way to fix it would be to grab the pkgbuild from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43528 and rebuild it

That's a no-no. They have a different name for a reason. Recompiling pure-ftpd so it can link against the correct file is the way to go.
