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.
