For completeness sake, this translates to a libmySQL.dll error on Windows. Ensure that libmySQL.dll (available many places) is somewhere in your path. I put it in system32.

If you install mysql with mysql5-server-devel and get this same error try creating this symlink:

sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib

Ah, TS isn’t smart enough to figure out the cause of the error – it just tries to run indexer and check for specific output (ie: the version number)… and if anything fails, it assumes indexer isn’t actually there.

Hadn’t thought of problems like this – if/when I have the time, I’ll try to make the message a bit smarter. Thanks for sharing!
