On my system (ArchLinux) libmysqlclient.so is a symlink to the current version (.16), so the application is able to load it. Other systems (like Ubuntu and Co.) might ommit this symlink as it is only included with development packages.

Yes, the development package must be installed for the .so symlink to
be created.  This is o.k. for developers, but doesn't particularly
help users.  The .16 library needs to be added to the list, you're
right, but .15 must also be there.

Also I'm prefering the web view on freepascal.org, so that I don't rely on a certain PC to read the messages (I'm using three: work, home, UMPC). Thus replying is a bit... well... thread breaking. If you have a good solution for this problem (modifying headers?), I'd love to read it :)

I thought you might be using digest mode, but it's also stripping the
reference.  I don't think there's much you can do about it, either
way.
