libmysqlclient.so.12 => not found

I’ve upgraded my mysql from 4.0.X to 4.1.X…and some progs gave me errors that they could not start because they couldn’t find they proper mysql library…
The solution is to download a mysql package called MySQL-shared-compat. Unfortunately it only comes as an rpm…but..for us gentoo users there’s a nice solution to installing it.

Go download one of those rpms http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2144706/com/MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm.html and then:

rpm2targz MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
tar zxvf MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.tar.gz
cp ./usr/lib/*.so.* /usr/lib/

and you are done…all progs continue to work just like before.
