[SelfCoded]

Changing the /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 in both places fixed the .so stuff.

This,
if test -f ../bin || install -v -d ../bin; then \
g++ -I/usr/local/mysql/include/ -I/usr/include/mysql/ -I/usr/include/openssl/ -I /usr/local/mysql/ -L/Library/ -L/usr/lib/ -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/ -L/usr/lib/ - L/usr/local/mysql/lib/ -o ../bin/server -lz -lmysqlclient -DLINUX -ggdb -w -m64 account.o act.comm.o act.informative.o act.movement.o act.offensive.o act.other .o arena.o auctions.o clan.o comm.o commands.o commerce.o constants.o control.o crafts.o create_mobile.o creation.o db.o destruction.o dwellings.o edit.o employ ment.o fight.o group.o guest.o guides.o handler.o hash.o item_card.o item_tossab le.o limits.o magic.o mobact.o mobprogs.o mysql.o nanny.o net_link.o object_dama ge.o objects.o olc.o perception.o psionics.o roles.o roomprogs.o save.o somatics .o staff.o transformation.o utility.o weather.o wounds.o server.o ; fi

is now this:

Woot! Progress. Naturally, I got the same errors when trying to start the server, though. Need to figure those two lines out. I'm pretty sure the server is using Red Hat linux, if that makes things easier to assess.
