Hello JD,

Thanks for the feedback.

At the begging I was using the library directly from the mysql website, for that matter I indeed created amysal-client.cong file on etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and appended the /usr/local/lib to it (didnt work). Couple of tries later, installed the package yum mysal-devel and it created a sencond file point to its lib version, so basically right now this is what I have:

[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# more mysql-i386.conf
/usr/lib/mysql
[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# more mysql-client.conf
/usr/local/lib

each dir refers to a different version of the libs, I removed mysql-client and gave it a shot, no dice, stills fail...

Cheers,
Arley
