you should compile mysql by yourself instead of using a binary version?

The error is that the libmysqlclient was linked against another version
of the glibc. Welcome in the club of frustrated glibc users...

In earlier version the errno symbol was part of th glibc but in later
versions this symbol is replaced by a header definition so it becomes
thread safe.

Best regards

Dirk
