b) i own a propatery software (lx-fibu) which runs fine with a symlink (manual made) from libmysqlclient.so.20 to libmysqlclient.so.18 (because software normally worked direct with mysql, not with mariadb)
- if there is no replacement, what did i have to tell the developer he has to point to (use instead)?
In that case the developer should have provided you with their own version of libmysqlclient.so.20 in the directory with the executable. Then the program should probably have set a static RPATH such that this developer provided library is used instead of distro stuff. IF they want to use distro provided libraries, then they should provide you with an update repository where their program is also rebuilt. - Adam PS. As it's been indicated already, symlinks like that are bound to fail and eventually will burn you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
