mysql client on Centos 7 drops error libreadline.so.5 not found

[Elena Cuevas]

Hello, 

I have just installed mariadb-5.5.41-tokudb-7.5.5-linux-x86_64 on CenOS 7.  I have done a clean installation. 

I have had no problems installing and starting server but when I try to connect I get the following error: 

/home/mysql/toku/bin/mysql

/home/mysql/toku/bin/mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried with an older version(5.5.38-tokudb-7.1.7-MariaDB), following the same steps and haven't had any problem. 

Can you please help me?

Thanks,

Elena

Hi again, 

I have downloaded mariadb version from mariadb.org and copy mysql executable to the toku installation. 

This has work properly and now I can connect. 

I don't know if this a bug or something that I did wrong. 

Thanks, 

Elena

We build TokuDB on a CentOS 5 machine which may package an older version of the readline library than CentOS 7.  If this is the case, then you can probably install the older readline package on CentOS 7.

Hi Rob, 

I tried an older version of toku (7.1.7) in this machine and this situation didn't occur. 

I only have this problem with this new release. 

I've got it resolved by using ./mysql from mariadb-5.5.41. 

thanks, 

Elena

ln -s /lib64/libreadline.so.6.0 /lib64/libreadline.so.5

It will works but, I don't know it was good solution.

hi, 

thanks for reply. I considered that, but didn't know how it would affect. 

I got mysq client executable from mariadb distro and it worked with no problem. 

What I think is strange is that older version over same operating system works perfectly while this version wich is supposed to be newer and compatible with newer library versions doesn't work.

Thanks, 

Elena
