Static Compile mysql libaries into the exim binary?
I upgraded MySQL from the 4.0 branch to the 4.1 branch today
i also updated the MySQL clients and such as well
bad mistake, all my mail went offline when doing this.
when i typed "exim" in console, it complained about libmysqlclient.so.12 is missing.
when looking in the mysql lib dir, its now called libmysqlclient.14
looks like its gone up a version
anyway, i thought i could cheat and link libmysqlclient.so.12 to libmysqlclient.14
i then typed "exim" into my console, this time, the binary run fine and displayed this:
Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents,
not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control
what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation.
which is correct. But then this started to appear in my exim panic log:

Compiling exim again will fix this no doubt, but then i also have to compile and patch my qpopper for mysql as well, which is a pain in the *** to be honist.
So my question is..... is there anyway to statically compile exim with the mysql libs so that next time i upgrade to the next major version of mysql it doesn't go nuts.
Thanx
