Alternately you might have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment when you start mysql. > Also, this is the contents of the ld.so.conf file: > include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf > /opt/mysql/include/mysql > /usr/local/lib > /usr/lib Maybe this relates to the way that the dynamic linker on Linux (but not most other systems) won't find shared objects in the search path unless the filename begins with "lib" ...
