I just had a look at the source code (sql-common/client.c) ... and the manual.

Maybe I have misunderstood how the mysql_real_connect() works... It appears that you have to define the options file with mysql_options(), to force the client to read from an option file. I thought it was done my default, trying to read from ~/.my.cnf, /etc/my.cnf, $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf, etc.

In my previous configuration, I have use the default UNIX socket /tmp/mysql.sock and my libmysqlclient application could connect because it was using that default socket file name too...

Can someone confirm please?
