And if this doesn't work, you should be able to build it without the Ports Collection using the standard build procedure described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html (currently chapter 2). If you choose this method and have trouble with it, please enter a problem report with MySQL (http://bugs.mysql.com/). Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
