Please note that this problem breaks the python bindings on Mac OS X. The setup.py for MySQL-python depends on these values. https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1835239&forum_id=70461 http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?50,175059,180049#msg-180049

Hi Matthew,
I'm a little confused, as I cannot reproduce this.
$ uname -rs
Darwin 8.11.1
$ tar zxf mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686.tar.gz
$ ./mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/bin/mysql_config
Usage: ./mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/Users/jonathan/mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common]
--include [-I/Users/jonathan/mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/include]
--libs [-L/Users/jonathan/mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm]
--libs_r [-L/Users/jonathan/mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.1.20-beta]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/Users/jonathan/mysql-5.1.20-beta-osx10.4-i686/lib -lmysqld -lz -lm]
and after installing the .dmg:
$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.1.20-beta]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqld -lz -lm]
The output is the same for 5.1.21-beta and 5.1.22-rc as well.

Description: Several users and customers have encountered this when building DBD::MySQL. mysql_config is giving the wrong library paths and thus when loading client apps you get a runtime linking error: mysql_config Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: --cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common] --include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include] --libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm] --libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm] --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] --port [3306] --version [5.1.20-beta] --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lm] Notice that it uses /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql How to repeat: Install 5.1.20-beta: ./bin/mysql_config Suggested fix: We should be listing /usr/local/mysql/lib
