OK, here are the last few lines from make. I configured using the following:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqld-user=mysql errors: libmysql.c: In function `mysql_real_connect': libmysql.c:1790: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r' from incompatible pointer type libmysql.c:1790: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r' libmysql.c:1790: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[2]: *** [libmysql.lo] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I tried ./configure without the --with-mysqld-user flag. still the same errors. Coincidently, I spent the entire day trying to figure out why I couldn't compile qmail on my RedHat 9 box and found the answer. Apparently, do to changes in the new glibc, some older practices become incompatible with glibc and cause a compile error. With qmail, it was a simple fix, just find the 3 affected files and add the #include <errno.h> header for each file. Link if you're interested in also compiling qmail on RedHat 9 (I love qmail, sendmail sucks): http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/13960 I wonder if the new glibc is also at play here. I'm not educated on the art of compiling, I just know how to untar packages, configure, and make them. And, if I run into a problem, google's my only friend. In this case, I couldn't find much. I've got the binaries working ok for now but sometimes it's just the principle...I can't stand being beaten :) At 10:22 AM -0400 9/11/03, Peter Koutsoulias wrote: >I couldn't find an appropriate mailing list for compiling MySQL, so I >thought I'd try here. > >anyone successfully compile MySQL 4 on RedHat 9?

"I keep getting errors" isn't really very specific, and you're less likely to get any useful response that way than if you provide details. -- Paul DuBois, Senior Technical Writer Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com Are you MySQL certified? http://www.mysql.com/certification/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
