libmysqlclient.so.6 error

error in loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Hi,

I think the problem might be that
libmysqlclient.so is a symlink to
libmysqlclient.so.6 and that this file/symlink
has been deleted accidently.

Check your libmysqlclient.??? files if they
are correct.

libmysqlclient.so.6 can be a symlink itself

libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.6
libmysqlclient.so.6 -> libmysqlclient.so.6.0

ore something like that. The important file
in this chain is the binary.
Just recreate the symlinks if the file exists.

Is your system linux ? Then make sure that the mysql library path has been added to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig)
