I'm programming a server application, using MySQL as the database backend. Something that I've notice though, which poses a critical problem with my server program, is that when the MySQL client library or embedded server (libmysqlclient/libmysqld) gets linked into my program and used, I can no longer load any of my own custom shared objects into my program (using dlopen()). dlopen() does not return any error messages, in fact, it appears that my objects are loading just fine, but then they aren't. I've used the latest versions of both 4.0 and 4.1, but to no avail. When I remove the MySQL code and recompile, my .so's load in fine and run perfectly, just as I programmed them. It's only when I use the MySQL setup that things go wrong. I hope this is just a stupid error on my part, and not something that will force me to some other databasing solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin
