Weston,
It looks like it just can't find the libs created by mysql - I don't know
why you would be having problems now that you didn't have before, but I
have seen wierder things.
Basically, It may be trying to load them for PHP (as you can have mysql
and php play together). Take a look in your mysql folder (could be in
/usr/local/mysql/ - I don't know where you installed it) and
open up the lib/mysql folder inside.
You should see some files like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17078 Sep 25 14:37 libdbug.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34692 Sep 25 14:37 libheap.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15008 Sep 25 14:37 libmerge.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 156708 Sep 25 14:37 libmysqlclient.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 718 Sep 25 14:37 libmysqlclient.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 25 14:37 libmysqlclient.so
-> libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 25 14:37 libmysqlclient.so.6
-> libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128891 Sep 25 14:37
libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29346 Sep 25 14:37 libmystrings.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173770 Sep 25 14:37 libmysys.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118988 Sep 25 14:37 libnisam.a
[darron@ans mysql]$ pwd
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
I just ended up copything the libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0 to /lib and then
symlinking them like this:
[darron@scully /lib]$ ls -l libmysqlclient.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 15 1999 libmysqlclient.so
-> libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 15 1999 libmysqlclient.so.6
-> libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128881 Jul 15 1999
libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
Give that a try - it may be a gross hack but it works just fine.
