Hi, I am trying to compile MySQL. I know that it is possible to install this as a binary, that is not my goal.
My environment consists of the following: If there are other tools that I need to specify please let me know. gcc-3.2-7 libgcc-3.2-7 gcc-c++-3.2-7 I run configure as specified at the MySQL site: From config.log: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-extra-charset=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile --enable-assembler --disable-shared --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static When I run make I receive the following output: libmysql.c:1850: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r' from incompatibleointer type libmysql.c:1850: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r' libmysql.c:1850: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a castmake[2]: *** [libmysql.lo] Error 1 I have googled this error message and the result include the following recommendation from MySQL: "This is known problem with RedHat. In order to build MySQL you need to have g++ installed from separate RPM In RedHat 8.0 RPM in quesiton is gcc-c++-3.2-7.i386.rpm" It appears that I have installed gcc-c++-3.2-7.i386.rpm as you can see above from my build environment obtained by: rpm -qa | grep gcc Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
