Using MySQL on (headless) Linux

[Ben Rubinstein]

Yes sorry Richard et al for confusion.

I was using LC standard on a headless Linux machine, i.e. launching the IDE 
but with -ui. It worked fine and ran my stack OK, until it tried to access a 
database. At that point I listened to advice and made a minimal standalone 
configured as a launcher - and built with the necessary libraries - and all 
was right with the world.

At no point was I using LC Server (for whatever reason).

Thanks to everyone who helped me!

Ben
