Workaround: 1. create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/05mysql.conf with "/usr/lib/mysql" inside; 2. run sudo env-update && . /etc/profile; 3. run your software.
I get the same error message, but while starting amarok. This happened after upgrading to mysql 5.5.32.
This should be solved as part of bug 474952 fix
There was a bug in the mysql.eclass. So please sync the and tree and rebuild mysql or do the workaround mentioned in the master bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 474952 ***
