Add /usr/local/lib/mysql to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig
(/sbin/ldconfig maybe)

If you want to use the GUI the setup lib is built by unixODBC and its called

If you want to use unixODBC as the DM you will need to rename the libodbc.so
that comes with CF (the marant driver manager) to someting else and make a
