am I right OR what's the right way

[William K. Hardeman]

Andrei,

The Makefiles are intelligent enough to know that the MySQL libraries are 
normally stored in /path/to/libdir/mysql, but LD is not. Hence, for 
runtime, unless you set up an LD_LIBRARY_PATH statement in your start 
scripts, you have to have the /path/to/libdir/mysql directory in your 
ld.so.conf file for the runtime linker to find the needed libraries. I've 
run into this situation with other applications previously, where the 
compiler finds everything properly, because of my configure options, but 
the binary can't at runtime.
