Symptoms
Create the soft link to the new library file.
The embedded mysql-client will not allow login access on the Primary or Additional Backend servers and reports the following error:
/opt/APG/../mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo,so,5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Tests were performed with the following:
Enter username: [apg] both root and apg
Enter database: [apg] attempted connection to apg, compliance and events
Cause
The soft-link is missing to the newly added library that was deployed during the update of the MySQL database. The SRM 4.2.1 has an update SLES OS that is missing the libtinfo.so.5 file and will cause the mysql-client to fail.
Resolution
To resolve this issue a soft link needs to be added with a pointer to the new library. This link needs to be added on all database Servers in the SRM installation.
To add the soft link you will need to login to the applicable server and use the following command:
ln -s /lib64/libncurses.so.5.6 /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
NOTE: if you are not logged in as root you may need to use sudo to run the command
