Posted 11 Jul 2021 by danc2050 		The MYSQL_CONFIG environment variable was not set. On Ubuntu 16 it is `/usr/bin/mysql_config` and perhaps on ubuntu 20.04 it is `/usr/bin/mysql_config_editor`. I rolled back to Ubuntu 16 because that is likely more supported. Thank you.

Posted 11 Jul 2021 by danc2050 		Trying to set up a boinc server on Ubuntu 20.04 on Google Cloud Platform and I get this error with no real explanation/ways to fix it:

# ./configure --disable-client --disable-manager | grep -ni "mysql"
128:checking for mysql_config... no
configure: error:
================================================================================
ERROR: trying to build BOINC-server, but MYSQL was not found.

If you do not want to build the server you should use --disable-server.

================================================================================



I do indeed have MYSQL installed on the computer as I was able to complete the previous steps. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
