Eh. I'd reply that comments to mysql-command-line-client page on kb is
not an appropriate place for comments like that.

Anyway, quick grepping shows that mysql_get_server_name() is something
present in the mariadb tree and not present in the mysql tree. So,
obviously he is trying to use mysql command line client from mariadb
with libmysqlclient.so from mysql. Why and how is a different question.
May be some rpm is not installed, or wrong rpm is installed, or
mysql's libmysqlclient.so is found before maria's libmysqlclient.so.
It's for him to find out.
