No paths allowed for shared library (At installation)

[kheush]

Hi All,
I am using:
MySQL 5.1.73 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)
When trying to install, I get following error : ERROR 1124 (HY000): No paths allowed for shared library
Has anyone faced the same issue and managed to find a fix.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alassane

So in makefile file, the first line libdir is clearly the destination of shared library ( the result of compilation, the .so file) since libdir is repeated in the second line of compile command.

So you probably should check if you have writing privilege to the destination.

You might also want to check if you should change that libdir to plugin directory in mysql. A lot of current solutions have changed it in order to install successfully.

The shared library must be located in the plugin directory (the directory named by the plugin_dir system variable). The library must be in the plugin directory itself, not in a subdirectory.

Solutions:

• Change plugin_dir in my.cnf, put your library file into that directory.
• Or, copy your library file into SELECT @@plugin_dir;
