I'm not sure what that incompatible message means but that's why it
won't work - the linker can't find anything. I guess make sure that it's
compatible with your kernel. What does the file command show for that
library, and it is different from other libraries on the system? What
does ldd output if you run it against the libmysqlclient_r.so library?

Thanks,
