>Description:

The databases/mysql41-client and probably databases/mysql50-client don't
work correctly on a machine where only the client port is installed and you
set the character set with WITH_CHARSET and/or WITH_XCHARSET.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install databases/mysql41-server on a server and databases/mysql41-client on
the client machines. Both should be compiled with WITH_CHARSET=latin2 and
WITH_XCHARSET=all. Try to run a query on the client by connecting to the
server. Here is an example notice from a PHP script running on the client:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't initialize
character set latin2 (path: /usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/) in
somescript.php on line 16

>Fix:

Temporary workaround is to install the mysql41-server port on the client
machine. The correct fix is to move the installation of
/usr/local/share/mysql/charsets from mysql41-server to mysql41-client.
