Yet I don't know why Exim is the only application that has this problem.
ProFTPd for example also links to the same MySQL client library and
still runs without the ld.so.conf change. Yet other applications
(courier-authlib) find and use the MySQL client library entirely alone
without anybody telling them where to find it. Do they know where to
find the library when MySQL is installed from source? Are they able to
tell ld at runtime (or compile time) from where to link the shared
library file and Exim is not? Should that be changed?
