I've been using MySQL 3.23.XX for quite some time now very successfully. Recently I needed to run the mysql shell to perform some maintenance to a table. Much to my surprise it quits with the error that it cannot load libreadline.a(libreadline.so) and that it/they cannot be located in the archive. After verifying that they are indeed there and setting many ENV variables didn't seem to change anything I finally downloaded the source for libreadline version 5.0 and compiled it and linked to the proper directories. I've got a symlink for both in /usr/lib and the actuals are in /usr/local/lib. Permissions are all set correctly.

Result: SAME ERRORS.

I've searched the web and usenet virtually ALL DAY and tried all sorts of things. Same error.

Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight as to how I may oversome this issue? I don't understand as it certainly was working a while ago.

Advice? Please?
