    Hello :) You could install the RPM directly with the "--nodeps" flag to skip the required MySQL dependency: Sphinx 2.2.10-release downloads | Sphinx EX:
    rpm -Uvh --nodeps hxxp://url.to.rpm
    Thank you.

    Ok I tried this, and it installed but now it won't start the service. I get this error: Starting searchd: /usr/bin/searchd: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED] Looks like it is still not accessing the libraries and it needs them to start. Maybe sphinx needs to be directed to this folder? I'm attaching the pic. Most places I've read it says this means its missing the libraries, but I can see them.

    It's possible a symbolic link from the path it's expecting to the actual library would help, but since it's a third-party application, you should seek feedback on their support forums at: Sphinx | Open Source Search Server It looks like an active forum so you should receive a response. Thank you.
