Hi all,
I'm installing mysql from source. I know this is an error that has been posted
several times:
# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -V
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql: can't load library
'../libmysql/.libs/libmysqlclient.so.15.0'

If I vi the mysql file in /usr/local/mysql/bin:
....SNIP.....

[EMAIL PROTECTED]/libmysql/.libs/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mysql_field_count
....SNIP.....
Does this mean libmysqlclient.so.15.0 is hardcoded and won't work unless
you're in the /usr/local/mysql/bin directory.
It works fine as long as long as you start the commands in the
/usr/local/mysql/bin directory, if you change directory then you get the error.
Thank you
I went ahead and did the same (installed 5.0.16 from source) and had
similar results, with the exception that even within the mysql/bin
directory I still receive that same error.
The daemon, however, runs well.
I have had good luck, however, with the 5.0.16 build available at
mysql.com. It is labeled for OpenBSD 3.7, but runs well on my 3.8
box without modification. Just a thought.
Good luck,
Joe
