I saw a comment today from Eric Koh on the Knowledgebase article for the mysql Command-line Client: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/mysql-command-line-client --------------------------------------------------------------------- mariadb-mysql command-line problem on CentOS 5.5 i386 I tried these 2 RPMs MariaDB-client-5.1.42-68.el5.i386.rpm MariaDB-client-5.1.49-82.el5.i386.rpm I get this message when starting the mysql client mysql: symbol mysql_get_server_name, version libmysqlclient_16 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.16 with link time reference running ldconfig/rebooting doesnt help. The RPMs for the server are fine though. I am thus using MariaDB-server and MariaDB-shared together with MySQL-client-community --------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone know what might be going on here?
