I have just notice, in the spec -DWITH_READLINE=ON Which means, according to INSTALL-SOURCE : * -DWITH_READLINE=bool Whether to use the readline library bundled with the distribution. Does this use of a bundled library is wanted ? To use the system library, option should be -DWITH_READLINE=OFF \ -DWITH_LIBEDIT=OFF \ With this : ldd /usr/bin/client/mysql ... libreadline.so.6 => /lib64/libreadline.so.6 (0x0000003530a00000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 (0x0000003531600000) libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 (0x0000003530e00000) ... But, it's seems the readline.cmake is still buggy ... (history feature not detected, readline/libedit choice...)
