Severity set to serious, because this bug prevents the implementation of tools, libraries and such that depend on MySQL

The script "mysql_config" was changed to search "lib64" and other special locations, in cases where the hard coded default path doesn't end in the usual "lib" or "lib/mysql".

Noted in 4.1.19, 5.0.20, 5.1.9 changelogs. <command>mysql_config</command> returned incorrect libraries on <literal>x86_64</literal> systems. (Bug #13158)
Description: The mysql_config script that is part of the x86_64 RPM has pkglibdir hard coded set to /usr/lib64/mysql. However this line is immediately followed by fix_path lib/mysql lib which resets pkglibdir to {basedir(=/usr)}/lib. As a result the libraries cannot be found by scripts using mysql_config. How to repeat: Try installing perl module DBD::mysql Suggested fix: The 'fix_path' line should probably be fix_path lib64/mysql lib/mysql lib64 lib or even fix_path lib64/mysql lib64
