I have been trying to solve the problem in bug 508824 regarding Portage keeping some preserved libs around related to libmysqld.so.18, which is no longer being installed in the library directory but in a mysql subdirectory (in my ~amd64 machine that is /usr/lib64/mysql). After troubleshooting, I noticed no reference to the mysql library folder anywhere in env.d or in my ld.so.conf folders. Reading bug 474952 I learned that a fix to the eclass was supposedly integrated into the tree for the LDPATH variable. Looking at the diff history of the different version, I noticed the fix for LDPATH introduced in version 1.16 of mysql-cmake.eclass, only to be removed in version 1.19 while merging the file with the ebuild from one of the overlays. Adding this change back into the eclass and recompiling MySQL results in the installation of a file in env.d that sets the LDPATH to include the mysql library folder, solving the problem in bug 508824, and possibly others. My computer has mysql-5.5.37-r1 installed, but this most likely also affects mariadb since they both make use of the eclass in question, to my understanding. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mysql-5.5.37-r1 2. Install any package that links against one of the libraries inside /usr/lib/mysql (such as Amarok with the embedded useflag enabled, links to /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.so.18) Actual Results: If previously installed, /usr/lib/libmysqld.so.18 (deprecated location) is preserved because LDPATH does not include /usr/lib/mysql, else checking the runtime linking of the affected package reveals that libmysqld is not found since LDPATH is not updated to include /usr/lib/mysql. Expected Results: After installing mysql--5.5.37-r1, LDPATH should be updated such that so that packages can find the libraries found within /usr/lib/mysql. # emerge --info Portage 2.2.10

Created attachment 377974 [details, diff] Patch adding LDPATH changes removed in mysql-cmake.eclass revision 19.
This change was intentional as other patches in dev-db/{mariadb,mysql} and the mysql-cmake.eclass moved most of the libraries to /usr/$(get_libdir). The one that was left in /usr/$(get_libdir)/mysql was the libmysqld.so. As jmbsvicetto has stated in bug 508824, this is an amarok problem and he will be taking care of this there.
Forgive my ignorance, but how is Amarok being unable to find the path to the libmysqld.so library at runtime an Amarok problem? To my knowledge Amarok uses myslq_config to find the library in question at build-time, as it is my understanding that it should. In my system: # mysql_config --libmysqld-libs -L/usr/./lib64/mysql -lmysqld As things currently stand (I think), there is nothing in the system that would point any packages to this directory at runtime-- so while programs that need to compile against libmysqld.so may compile, they won't run since they won't be able to find the library. Well, this is assuming we don't configure RUNPATH for Amarok. Is this the solution, tweaking RUNPATH at build-time? On a related note, if almost all libraries were moved out of the myslq library folder, why was libmysqld left behind? Is there somewhere online where that discussion was had so that I may catch up on the reasoning? I appreciate the efforts of jmbsvicetto in bug 508824, and I realize this is probably a low priority, but I think this problem is within my abilities to solve, if I were to understand what the problem is. I fail to see Amarok being at fault-- if I run ldd in my system (after undoing my "fix") on the libraries Amarok compiles: # ldd /usr/lib64/kde4/amarok_collection-mysql* | grep mysql /usr/lib64/kde4/amarok_collection-mysqlecollection.so: libmysqld.so.18 => not found Please advise.
