[Lazarus] Help getting Lazarus to work under Fedora 11 /w mySQL 5.1

[Chris Jennings]

Thanks Mattias

I got the following return

[chris at dt1 ~]$ su -c 'ldconfig -v | grep mysql'
Password:
/usr/lib64/mysql:
    libmysqlclient.so.16 -> libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
    libmysqlclient_r.so.16 -> libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0
    libmysqlclient.so.16 -> libmysqlclient.so.15 (changed)
    libmysqlpp.so.3 -> libmysqlpp.so.3.0.9
[chris at dt1 ~]$

and everything now works as expected. I am using the Zeos DB components 
as they support mySQL 5.1 whereas the native sqlDB components only 
support mySQL 5.0. I understand that they folks at mySQL make changes to 
the client libs in minor version changes (eg 5.0 to 5.1) that drive 
developers of client connection routines batty. I believe that the so.16 
libs are for 5.1 and the so.15 libs are for 5.0
