ok, i  see...I installed mysql from source and mysqlbinlog was put in the 
default /usr/local/mysql/bin dir.  I'll create some symlinks from here unless I 
can change the search path within the MHA code???? I have /usr/local/mysql/bin 
in the users path....

[ec2-user@mapi-slave01-qa ~]$ /usr/bin/mysqlbinlog --version 
-bash: /usr/bin/mysqlbinlog: No such file or directory
[ec2-user@mapi-slave01-qa ~]$ which mysqlbinlog 
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlbinlog
[ec2-user@mapi-slave01-qa ~]$ mysqlbinlog --version
mysqlbinlog Ver 3.3 for Linux at x86_64

I'm not a perl guy, but how can I have the search path include the 
/usr/local/mysql/bin directory?  the /usr/local/mysql/bin path is included in 
my users $PATH.  On the nodes, what other mysql tools/binaries is used by MHA?  
do I need to symlink them all?

We have run into the same issue, as we install mysql in a custom location. 
Perhaps a configuration variable that could be used to set the location of the 
mysql client binaries would be helpful.

Just hit this one too. Would be great to have a --basedir setting here.

Me too, just hit this one because apply_diff_relay_logs assumes mysqlbinlog in 
the PATH and ware of good /etc/my.cnf.  I would like the binary and options be 
configurable.
