Hi, I've mysql 3.23.32 running on FreeBSD 4.0. It runs a site with heavy traffic and heavy database interaction. After starting mysql it hangs after some days. Mysql server is still in the processlist, but it is not possible to connect to the sql server anymore. Therefor it is impossible to stop the server and rerun it without killing. Problem with threads?? I've found the following in the config.log generated by ./configure: --------------------- SNIP ------------------------ configure:5648: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lz -lcrypt -lm 1>&5 /tmp/ccF77967.o: In function `main': /tmp/ccF77967.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `pthread_create' configure: failed program was: #line 5641 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <pthread.h> int main() { (void) pthread_create((pthread_t*) 0,(pthread_attr_t*) 0, 0, 0); ; return 0; } configure:5662: checking for pthread_create in -lpthread configure:5673: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lz -lcrypt -lm -lpthread 1>&5 /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot open -lpthread: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: #line 5666 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <pthread.h> int main() { (void) pthread_create((pthread_t*) 0,(pthread_attr_t*) 0, 0, 0); ; return 0; } configure:5688: checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads configure:5697: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lz -lcrypt -lm -lpthreads 1>&5 /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot open -lpthreads: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: #line 5690 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <pthread.h> int main() { pthread_create((pthread_t*) 0,(pthread_attr_t*) 0, 0, 0); ; return 0; } --------------------- SNIP ------------------------ I've no idea if this is important or not? I've made a script which reboots the server if connection to sql server fails. But this is not a solution :). Thanks in advance.
