>Description:
Your tar binary distribution mysql-3.23.37-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz does not
work for compiling proftpd (unless and -lz is added in proftpd's Make.rules)
because of references to 'compress' and 'uncompress' in mysqlclient where
those functions aren't found. The same failure happens trying to compile
Apache/PHP4 with MySQL support. This is a problem that many have noted for
some time in various mailing lists.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install from binary tar, tell programs to be compiled against it to look in
/usr/local/mysql/include and /usr/local/mysql/lib, watch compiles fail with
complaints they can't find 'compress' and 'uncompress'.
>Fix:
For Proftpd, alter Make.rules. For Apache - well, I grabbed the MySQL
source, compiled the whole damn thing, and then refered Apache to that, and
it was fine - so it's something about how you're compiling the binary distro
that's odd here. If you're not going to do a static include of zlib, then
please set it up so it can find it on the system in the standard way.
