mv /usr/bin/mysqldump /usr/bin/mysqldump0
echo '#!/bin/bash' > /usr/bin/mysqldump
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=' >> /usr/bin/mysqldump
echo '/usr/bin/mysqldump0 $@' >> /usr/bin/mysqldump
chmod a+x /usr/bin/mysqldump

After assign the path to the MySQL Dump utility should solve problems with performing a backup of MySQL databases.
