Well make sure you have gcc 2.95.2 and a recent version of make (the manual
suggests a version). Also, when I said "Lib paths" I meant look at the -I
options for your configs. But rereading your info, it looks like a problem
with the actual object file (or lack of one).
I hate to say this but you may need to compile your own copy of MySQL from
source. I am still rather new to this product, and my experience with aix
is limited. (I did use gcc 2.95.2 to compile my copy, and had the most
recent copy of glib and libc also (but they are not required), I then down
loaded zlib from the link below, and then dropped the binary distro. it
worked flawlessly that time (once I had the files and libs).
Sorry to say this, but I am at a loss.
Can any one else help?
Jack

Subject: Re: can't find shr.o???
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.
