Dear MySQL developers and fanatics: Alright, after lots of fiddling, I have more information for you. My previous fix (to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH) DOES work. However, it has a shortcoming: users need to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to use the mysql client and root needs to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to run the mysql daemon. Even setting LD_RUN_PATH only partially fixes this problem, preventing root from needing to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running mysqld, but not helping on the client side. This is because the client compilation already includes a -R flag that overrides the LD_RUN_PATH. A more complete fix is to set LDFLAGS to '-R/opt/sfw/lib' prior to compilation. This will override LDFLAGS and force a correct compile and prevent anyone from having to set their LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Obviously, this shortcut could be implemented in the configure script. HOWEVER, this is inadequate for a permenant fix. The proper fix would be to properly utilize CXXFLAGS in the configure script and various Makefiles. Currently, it's in the Makefiles but not used (as far as I can see). The appropriate fix for this problem is to set CXXFLAGS to '-R/opt/sfw/lib' for SOLARIS users WHO ARE USING /opt/sfw/* compilers and have the configure script use that for c++ compiler testing instead of LDFLAGS. I've posted a website about this. It can be found at http://home.earthlink.net/~jaymzh666/mysql.html I hope this helps!
