[rsyslog] Is rsyslog 1.17.5 RPM MySQL capable?

[Raoul Bhatia [IPAX]]

you can try to use ldd(1) to print the shared libraries which are used
by a specific executable.

e.g.
 > ldd /usr/sbin/rsyslogd | grep mysql
 >         libmysqlclient.so.15 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 
(0xb7d74000)

kind regards,
