./theforgottenserver: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've already tried obvious ways to solve this, but I realized that I need help.

You are missing the libmysqlclient file.

Or it tries to load the file from wrong directory.

What was your suggestion? (it might be the answer for this)

Lemme take a wild guess you compiled MySQL with --prefix=/usr/local/mysql and that directory wasn't on the runtime linker path.

Try to edited /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql, run ldconfig you should be set.

it is a common problem if you add the MySQL lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/profile.
