When I try and configure MYSql before compiling I get the following error message ... checking for c++... no checking for g++... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. So I installed the egcs-c++ package and now it makes it past that step... Now it's dying with the following.... checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h checking size of char... 0 configure: error: No size for char type. A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have libm.a in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem, install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem, examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use 'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log! /usr/lib/libm.a exists and seems to be OK... I'd also like some opinions on what c++ compiler to use....
