Hi, I use Debian 7.

Tons of internet question are: "Can't load libmysqlclient.so!"
They get reply "make link be happy"

So is there a way to make my Lazarus program independent from distro
placed libmysqlclient.so?

Otherwise turns out on different Linux end user will suffer by do
symlinks.

May be there is method to integrate library as earlier in Delphi we
just keepin .dll in exe folder or merge dll into exe-file.

Thank you.

No. That's the whole problem that *nix doesn't provide such mechanism
in the default situation. It in general doesn't make shipping binaries
cross-distribution easy.
