Jack,
Yes, I made sure that I ran the command from the mysql home directory and
not within scripts. I am not sure what to check with lib paths. I think it
doesn't have a problem finding zlib.a in /usr/local/lib. I think it simply
can't load it because it can't find the shr.o that is associated within it.
I have no idea how to get around that. I even recompiled zlib and installed
it for the heck of it. No difference. I also tried loading this on a 4.3.3
system we had and failed their as well. Something about my enviroment must
be off. We don't have C libraries from AIX, but I do have the gcc
libraries. Does any of this make a difference? Is their a particular path
variable that needs a particular setting? General paths are set, but I
don't think we have a libpath variable set. Most things compile ok for me.
But since this is a binary distribution, we didn't compile this so I am not
sure what I am exactly missing.
