I'd also like to know on which platform "postconf" runs which commands to check "libmysqlclient". I am not aware of a versioning change around "libmysqlclient", especially MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 both use the same version 16 for this library (the interface didn't change). This is also the reason why "shared-compat" packages of MySQL 5.5 do not include the client libraries shipped with 5.1, only those of 5.0 and earlier: The MySQL 5.5 ones can replace those of 5.1 directly. What was changed, however, is that now the client library is only built thread-safe: whereas previous versions had separate "libmysqlclient.*" and "libmysqlclient_r.*", these are now (in 5.5) symbolic links to the same file. It is of course possible that "cmake" does handle some aspects different from the way "make" and the autotools did it, but that this difference does not matter to the way we do release builds (or was overcome). Especially, the ".la" files are not created any more. HTH, Jörg -- Joerg Bruehe, MySQL Build Team, joerg.bru...@oracle.com ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
