Against which library your programs will be build at compile time
is decided upon where the symlink from /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
(without version number) points to.
You can control this by installing exactly one of the following
packages:
libmysqlclient10-dev
libmysqlcleitn12-dev
libmysqlcleitn14-dev
The only thing to be avoided is to link more than one version of a shared
library into one binary but that again is under your control and does not
conflict with what my programs were linked against.
