Jack, Mysql,
Well, my thought is that I can only compile zlib as a static library. I
can't compile it shared. I think this why the binary distribution of mysql
doesn't work is because it is looking for shared resources of
libz.a. I could go through the pain of compiling this, but the AIX
freeware distribution site has a copy of mysql3.23.27 precompiled which does
work fine. I know its not the very latest, but its relatively close and it
works. -Thanks for your assistance!
