Bug 4358 – Missing Symlink in MySQL ebuild (libmysqlclient_r.so)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Klebermass 2002-06-30 13:39:45 UTC]

Hi while compiling some software for linux (nss-mysql, ill write an ebuild soon)
i found out that there is no symlink for libmysqlclient_r.so.
because they are also moved out of /usr/lib/mysql to /usr/lib i would advise to
add another symlink into the ebuild file (like it is done with libmysqlclient.so )

Just 
dosym ../libmysqlclient_r.so /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so
is needed.


Hope this would get into the next revision of mysql.

was this in the 4.0.1 release of mysql or 3.23.51?

It is in 3.23.51.  . Never used 4.0 because its not a release version.
