Re: libstlport.so.1 missing on mysql 5.6.13 to Solaris 10 installation

[Bjørn Munch]

This is most likely not as bad as it looks at first sight.

libstlport.so.1 is not missing from the package. If you look closely at the error message you will notice that it's not the server itself which fails to start, it's the program my_safe_process. This is an auxiliary program which is only used internally by the mysql-test test runner.

While mysqld (the server) is linked against the bundled libstlport, my_safe_process will try to use libstlport from the path of the Sun Studio compiler where it was built. The library is identical but in a different path, which you won't have unless you have Sun Studio 12 installed.

If you try starting the server directly you should not have this problem. If you do want to run mysql-test, I think you can also solve it by setting an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that includes /usr/local/mysql-5.6.13-solaris10-sparc-64bit/lib .

my_safe_process should indeed also have been linked against the bundled libstlport, if indeed it needs that library at all.
