Description: I need to put some paths into LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for things like asan and also new glibc which is not installed on this particular system. This causes mysql_install_db to fail (trimmed) : [ERROR] Child process: mysqld terminated prematurely with errno= 32 [ERROR] Failed to execute mysqld --bootstrap --datadir=./data --lc-messages-dir=./share --lc-messages=en_US --basedir=. -- server log begin -- mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libasan.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- server log end -- How to repeat: let mysqld require something from LD_LIBRARY_PATH that is not installed on system. Running mysqld manually works fine but spawning via mysql_install_db fails. Suggested fix: The last argument here is NULL, but it should be a pointer to the current environment variables? int ret= posix_spawnp(&child, (const char *)execve_args[0], &spawn_action, NULL, execve_args, NULL);
