After upgrading an 1000A from 4.0E to 4.0F and successfully running 3.23.29a-gamma for three days I thought I was out of the woods. This BTW was an upgrade from 3.22.xx with the Binary release: mysql-3.23.29a-gamma-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6.tar.gz. I did the OS and Database at the same time, living on the edge? Compiling mysql C clients using the following cc line failed: cc -o test test.c -I/usr/local/mysql/include -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lm ld: Unresolved: mysql_num_fields mysql_error /usr/local/mysql is my default installation directory. A "ls -l" of the lib directory in /usr/local/mysql/lib has: -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 369074 Feb 4 05:34 libmysqlclient.a I was quite concerned and downloaded the mysql-3.23.32 source and compiled the client & library portions using gnu's make (3.79.1). After this successful compilation (It did fail on ./strings doing strxmov.c and the include c_asm.h later on.) and make install from those directories I tried replacing the -L/usr/local/mysql/lib (Binary Distribution Files) with: -L/usr/local/lib/mysql (Source compiled locally.) and it worked. The ls -l of /usr/local/lib/mysql is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 455926 Feb 4 18:43 libmysqlclient.a "file" on both says "Alpha archive" My question is this: Is there a `problem' with the 23.29a-gamma-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6 binary release? The alpha I'm working with is a EV5.6, is this the problem? **Obvious** (I will probably take a crash through the mail lists and dig up the files on successfully building a mysqld from source on 4.0f and give it a try. With GNU make it bailed with the error (above) and I'm sure I've seen this on the list or in the README for info specific to Alpha/Tru64.) In the meantime am I safe to continue to run the binary client/server programs including mysqld from the Binary release? They don't seem to be causing in grief and no errors over three days now... Thanks for anyone who might be willing to help me `open my eyes' if that's what's required. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
