I installed mysql-client ver. 5.3.2. I'm still trying to compile the
php5-mysqli port, and still coming up against the problem:

Error: shared library "mysqlclient.16" does not exist

Interestingly mysqlclient.15 DOES exist. Tried creating a link to it, but no
such luck. I also noted that php5's mysql.so also is among the missing. Is the
package dependent on mysql 6.0? Maybe I could back up the php and mysqli ports
to an earlier version?
