yes, i first tried with {$linklib mysql50}, but that did not work.
than i thought, maybe
it needs the name of the clientlib, and when i tried {$linklib
libmysqlclient} it
suddenly worked.

as i'm new to freepascal i'm not sure, what the linker is looking for.
for example:
i tried symlinking my libmysqlclient.dylib to mysql50.dylib and that did not
work.
