I went ahead and did the Bitkeeper thing. Again, the documentation was not very exacting: -------------------------------------------------------- //// shell> bk clone bk://work.mysql.com:7001 mysql-4.0 do rather: bk clone bk://work.mysql.com:7001 mysql-max-4.0 //// shell> cd mysql //// shell> bk -r edit //// shell> aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake; //// shell> ./configure # Add your favorite options here //// shell> make cd mysql-max-4.0 Do as above. BUT BEFORE ./configure cd innodb aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake; ./configure Then cd .. and continue ./configure # Add your favorite options here make. After I did ./configure -with-shared and then did a make, I had libmysqlclient.so* in some hidden type directory under libmysql/.libs/ in here. I copied these to /usr/lib and away I went. Kylix can now use the Binary distribution since I have the right libmysqlclient.so. I did not install the whole thing from source, just the libs I needed. Is it just me or has the whole www.mysql.com documentation and process for getting up and running taken a terrible turn for the worse ? Is someone assigned to issues regarding "Nice end-user experience ?" There is a lot of content, just slight wrong here and there, and somewhat incomplete. Say, a whole day of someone's time on this can make a world of difference. ? -AEF On Sunday 06 January 2002 21:38, Allen wrote: > What do I do to get libmysqlclient.so for my binary distribution of Mysql > max 4.0.1 ? > > Install bitkeeper, get the source, build it ??? > > It's not included in any download already ? > ( Not the one I got, I just have a libmysqlclient.a ) > > -AEF -- "When I took off my space suit helmet, I let out a sigh.
