Thanks. My problem is stupid: person who installed MySQL on this server did not
use
yum repositories at all! I have "MySQL-shared-community-5.*1*.57-1.rhel5" installed (according to rpm -qa) while yum repositories have 5.*0*.95 (according to repoquery -i mysql) and it leads to inconsistency. I think 15 version of
libmysqlclient
is for 5.0 while 16 is for 5.1.
I believe someone have asked IT person to install mysql 5.1. Person found that CentOS 5.7 repositories have no 5.1, so he installed it from
external
.rpm file (because he did not want to upgrade the whole system).
There have been a lot of security-related fixes since 5..1.
I know but I do not want to update it now. I tried to use cpan, but it needs mysql_config (tool that tells it which options should be used for mysql) and my MySQL package has no such tool.
At least I installed libmysqlclient15 using yum from webtatic repo and now I have 2 of them, so my "mysql" app would use 16 while perl-DBD-mysql (which installed successfully now) should use 15.
Hope 15 is ok for my perl app.
Thanks.
