I created an application that uses DBD::MySQL. I add the MySQL client library to the PAR with '-l /opt/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15'. When I do the 'pp' on my Solaris 8 system the executable runs and completes without issue, however, when I do the same command line on Linux, things get interesting. The first time I run it on Linux, it complains about not being able to find the library file and exits, if I rerun the executable it runs just fine and completes. I can also change my shell's LD_LIBRARY_PATH after the initial run and it will work.
If I look in the '/tmp/par-root/cache-*' file I see the libmysqlclient.so file in the root of the cache both before and after the initial run. In a test script I can see that LD_LIBRARY_PATH and others are being set correctly. It's almost like DBD::MySQL is called before the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set. If call it without the '-l' and the libmysqlclient.so.15 file is in '/ot/mysql/lib/mysql' then the PAR file runs without issue from the start. I have done like the FAQ stated and removed the link and copied the file to the real name.
