[Nagiosplug-help] Check_mysql crashing

Thanks for the good call.  I am on a different platform so I am including
the instructions for it.

Some Solaris FAQ

This page tries to cover some FAQ I stumbled over -- either by myself, or by
people asking me -- not or badly covered in other mainstream FAQ. Though I
might add things you can easily find in other documentation I'll mainly
focus on things not mentioned everywhere.
Configuring the dynamic linker

If you're used to Linux you might be used to add pathes where librarys
reside to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig afterwards. Under Solaris there's
a similar way to configure paths for the dynamic linker. Please note that
it's only slightly better than setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- you can break
things if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

Configuration files for the dynamic linker reside under /var/ld/. Unlike
under Linux you're not meant to edit those with your favorite editor. Simply
running crle without arguments will give you something like this:

# crle

Default configuration file (/var/ld/ld.config) not found
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /lib:/usr/lib  (system default)
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system
default)

Now you can add a new path -- for example /usr/local/lib -- with crle -a
'path'. This might look like this:

# crle -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
# crle

Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config  
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system
default)

Command line:
  crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

Please note that you have to specify all directories, not just the one you'd
like to add.
