Thanks for each of your inputs. It was not a configuration issue as odbcinst.ini does not reference the mysql subdirectory. Rather than use Alexander's url, I ran: yum -y install centos-release-openstack-ocata yum -y install mariadb-server ...the cloud repository provides the properly pathed file. # repoquery -l mariadb-server mariadb-libs | grep lib64 | grep libmysqlclient /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 I installed this and isql was crashing. But (unlike the mariadb.com repository,) is did install: /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so ...in the appropriate subdirectory. However my asterisk server is still running and it still has that file open. I don't know if this keeps new processes referencing the .so file that is open in ram. I'm not sure how the package manager addresses such issues. Does it run ldconfig as part of the installation and defer resolving issues till the involved files are closed? For the moment I have again undoed the installation I was waiting to post this till things were slow enough to restart processes, run ldconfig, etc... Perhaps I need to do the install when no odbc|maria|mysql files are open. But this is the current state of things, and I will post the outcome later.
