Hi, after further testing it shows that the official mysql binary from www.mysql.com mysql-standard-4.1.7-unknown-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz doesnt' work with the latest pure64 or gcc-3.4. as mentioned, always the locks block the whole mysql-server and it cant even be killed.
i'm now running mysql-standard-4.1.7-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz and it works again. but now it's running in emulated 32-bit mode, i guess? i downloaded the sources but cant compile them. it always complains about linuxthreads..? i didnt find a mysql-4.1.7 precompiled on alioth, isnt it exisiting? any help would be really appreciated :) corin
