I’ve seen this issue before. On Debian Wheezy 7.9 x86.

 

I *think* it is a conflict between x86 and x64 versions of the libs. For some reason, when you compile on x86 (am I to assume you are running on x86 too?) configure does not fail when it should. It clearly cannot find the binaries it needs, so the resulting make file in the src/cat directory has MYSQL_LIBS = {nothing} when it should have something like: MYSQL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lmysqlclient_r

 

So, it compiles just fine, but MySQL connectivity is broken.

 

If you’re on a 64-bit system, however, that blows my theory on why it happens.

 

However, I *know* one fix is to fix the makefile, and recompile. I’ve done it.

 

If you’ve installed from RPM, I am not sure how you can fix this issue except (perhaps) if you ARE indeed on x86, moving to an x64 OS. (This may be overkill, and hopefully someone has a better answer to this).

 

Although, it was previously commented that “compiling from source is a really bad idea” in this case, the fix is simple. Put  MYSQL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lmysqlclient_r in the make file under /src/cat.

 

Since you are installing from RPMs, I hope someone else on this list has the fix for you.
