[rtg] configure: error: Cannot link with thread-safe MySQL lib(libmysqlclient_r)

[One OfTheMany]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your reply. I gave up in the end. A week of trying was enough for 
me. ;) I even tried compiling it all from source so it was (presumably) 
compatible with my kernel but still nothing. I'd read bits here and there 
about people having problems with x86_64. Luckily I had a 'standard' machine 
that I could use with the i386 install of FC5. So I rebuilt it and it 
installed first time. Pity I couldn't get it working on x86_64 but at least 
I got it going somehow thankfully.

I'd still like to hear from anyone if they can tell me how to fix this.

Cheers
Pete.
