• libmysqlclient: It is advised to install your system dependent (e.g. with sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient). If the libmysqlclient library is not installed on your system, the IPP installation script will install it for you. However there might be a parameter to change if you encounter the mysql related following error when you start the mysql client:

  ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
  

You need to edit and change the psconfig/tagsets/ipp-3.0.libs configuration libmysql related entry. The current value:

[...]
lib libmysqlclient       NONE           mysql  mysql-5.0.51a.tar.gz     mysql-5.0.51a    N --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock NONE NONE
[...]

should be replaced by:

[...]
lib libmysqlclient       NONE           mysql  mysql-5.0.51a.tar.gz     mysql-5.0.51a    N --with-unix-socket-path=<path_to_your_socket> NONE NONE
[...]

The <path_to_your_socket> value can be found in the mysql server configuration file (usually /etc/mysql/my.cnf):

[...]
socket                                          = /arbitrary/path/to/mysqld.sock
[...]

Notes

• mysql can fill up its disk with log files. It is easy to flush the files if this happens:

mysql> flush logs; mysql> reset master;

It is also possible to limit the max size. See discussion on ​this site.
