Description:
On the following page:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/fulltext-search-mecab.html
There is this info under "Installing the MeCab Parser Plugin":
"On Unix-like platforms, libmecab.so is statically linked in libpluginmecab.so, which is located in the MySQL plugin directory."
Which I believe is not correct at least for Ubuntu and probably Debian since I see there is a dependency on the system libmecab2 package so it's not statically linked.
But I think it is statically linked in Centos and probably Fedora, not sure for others.
How to repeat:

Suggested fix:
Make it clear where exists a dependency on the system packages and where it is statically linked.
