Configure command: ./configure --with-unix-socket-path=/var/tmp/mysql.sock
--with-low-memory --with-mit-threads=yes --without-perl --enable-thread-safe-client
--without-berkeley-db
I've quoted below the section of config.log which records the actions at the
time the problem occured:
---- start ----

configure: failed program was:
#line 6442 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
if (!f) exit(1);
fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(char));
exit(0);
}
---- stop ----
This problem has not occured when building any other software package so I
suspect something in the configure script is not quite right, but given that
SunOS 5.8 has a lot of changes from previous releases, the problem might be
partly due to that fact also.

Craig.
