SQL database requirements

Note that, if you want to compile mnoGoSearch with one of the supported SQL database, you must have the database system already installed before installing mnoGoSearch.

Since version 3.2, it is possible to use mnoGoSearch with several SQL databases.

You also should have enough permissions to create a new database or to write into an already existing one.

MySQL notes: We tested mnoGoSearch with 3.22.x, 3.23.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x MySQL versions. zlib library must be installed. On a Linux system you'll need zlib-devel RPM to successfully compile mnoGoSearch with MySQL.
