Hi,

I am migrating our web site from a SCO to a Redhat server and I'm having trouble with the mysql server. After installin apache, I did the following to install mysql

groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
(untared mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz in /tmp)
cd mysql-5.0.16
./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mysql -localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data -disable-maintainer-mode -with-mysqld-user=mysql -enable-large-files-without-debug
make
make install
cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
cd /usr/local/mysql
bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
chown -R root .
chown -R mysql data
chgrp -R mysql .
bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

Now it is running:
ps -ef | grep mysql
root 19582 1 0 Nov22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
mysql 19606 19582 0 Nov22 ? 00:00:28 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --user=mysql --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/BLRMTL01.pid --skip-locking --port=3306 --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
root 787 32608 0 11:00 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mysql

But if I do anything, for example
/usr/local/mysql# bin/mysqladmin -version
bin/mysqladmin: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What bugs me, is that I do have this shared library :
locate libmysqlclient
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a

I am thinking that something's wrong with my configure, I'm stomped.

Any help greatly appreciated.
