If this had been a permission problem, you would have gotten something
like Permission denied from the linker when it tried to read the library
( I have yet to see the system, though, that is misconfigured to the
point of libraries not being world readable).
Here is the unlitmate test, will work on gcc, not sure if it will work
with other compilers, you would have to read man for those. This will
show which libraries you are actually linking against:
gcc -v -Xlinker -verbose -o mysql_connect mysql_connect.c
-L/u/april/mysql -lmysqlclient > /tmp/linker.dump
Or
(cat "Here is the stuff from the linter ; gcc -v -Xlinker -verbose -o
mysql_connect mysql_connect.c -L/u/april/mysql -lmysqlclient) | mail -s
"Linker stuff" mysql@stripped
