Standard MySQL not working after InfiniDB install

[David Hill]

After installing InfiniDB, an error when trying to run the standard MySQL.This was reported on a Ubuntu system

InfiniDB install is causing the standard MySQL to point to a copy of our library, which is causing the failure. Library is libmysqlclient.so.16

[David Hill (dhill)]

Versions like MySQL 5.1.41, includes and uses the same version of the mysql client library, libmysqlclient.so.16, that
InfiniDB currently uses. So once the InfiniDB is installed and the system libarary paths are updating, it will cause this problem.

The work-around fix is to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the Standard Mysql setup to point back to it's library directory.
