Hi, Quoting gypsy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

This member was added in MySQL 4.1.0." Apparently the current version of the MySQL driver requires MySQL 4.1 or later. Would upgrading your MySQL installation cause major problems? > > The README says: > "Make sure you have both the libdbi framework installed and the > development libraries and headers of the database engine(s) that you > want to build the driver(s) for." > > What _*EXACTLY*_ does "the development libraries" mean? May we please > have a paragraph here rather than one sentence? > Simply put, a library usually provides two types of files: a .so file which contains the binary code that is used at runtime by an application linked against the library. This is all you need if you install applications linked against this library from binary packages. The other type is a .a file which contains the information for the linker to *build* an application linked against that library. Some systems like Debian use separate packages for the runtime files and the development files. I don't know how Slackware handles this, but you could simply check whether MySQL installed a libmysqlclient.a somewhere. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
