Mysql – libthesqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

centos7MySQL

I am trying to launch a script off of server I have which is running 64 bit CentOS 7, however whenever I launch the script I am getting this error in the server log.

Loaded log file: "server_log.txt".

[08:02:23] I couldn't load any gamemode scripts. Please verify your server.cfg
[08:02:23] It needs a gamemode0 line at the very least.

As such the script is failing to launch. I believe the problem the line that reads libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. How do I fix this in terms of CentOS?

Thanks!

On CentOS 7, libmysqlclient.so.18 is in the package mariadb-libs so check if that package is installed and if not:

yum install mariadb-libs
