Hi folks,
I need to get a version of MySQL running on AIX 5.1, but I see that the only
versions available are for v5.2 and v4.3.3.
Yes, currently we have build machines for these two only.
There are proposals to upgrade them to run AIX 5.1 and 5.3, respectively, but this issue has not yet been decided.
Also, the machine running 4.3 may not be able to generate 64 bit binaries.
I tried both versions (32 and 64-bit) for 5.2 on my 5.1 box, but received this error when trying to install:
"To be expected": AIX provides upward compatibility only, but not downward. The C library contains version information to check this.
You can run binaries generated on AIX 4.3 on 5.1, and this should work without problems.
(I did not specifically check the differences between these two, but I did not get any info this causes problems. If an interface changes, IBM typically provides "compatibility packages" providing the old interface on the new OS.)

It is possible to get a current working version for 5.1? [[...]]
Currently, we can not provide it.
