Would be great if either you or him posted the answer to this, as i'm having the same issues....

You get this error (but it doesn't cause any problems) because of the following code in doMySQL() for Debian systems:

# Fixing "gcc: /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so: No such file or directory"
if [ ! -e /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so ]; then
    cp -f /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.* /usr/lib/mysql/
fi

It shouldn't be there.

smtalk, thank you for your reactions.
To bad my error has rather changed but it's nice so other people know it as well.
