First of all, this thread belongs on nagiosplug-devel, not on nagios-devel.

Secondly, this patch completely breaks support for all 32-bit mysql 
installations out there, which I guess makes up about 99% of them all. 
Hence, the patch you sent is completely worthless, (although the 
bugreport ofcourse is not). When submitting patches it's usually wise to 
make sure that you don't fix it for yourself while landing others (a 
majority in this case) in trouble, or the patch simply has to be refuted.

A simpler and less timeconsuming fix would have been for you to do

	$ ./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql

or create a symlink named 'mysql' in /usr/lib, pointing to /usr/lib64/mysql.
