I'm using the procedures outline in my Mini-HOWTO at
< http://users.talstar.com/forager/MySQL-HOWTO.html > and have been for
several versions now without incident. The most important bit is the variable
settings right before running ./configure.
This is interesting info about gcc. I'll see how this affects everything
else.
The source for the HTML page lists where I got the information on the page.
On 07-Jul-01, Phil Dibowitz said something totally profound about Solaris Users: FIX
(for src builds) that made me ponder...
PD> For those of you Solaris users who are compiling from source:
PD>
PD> If you get "checking return type of sprintf... configure: error: can

PD>
PD> and many more... than I have a fix for you. The SFW version of gcc and
PD> gc++ that ships with Solaris 8 (and I believe also the versions that are
PD>
PD> available on sunfreeware.com) are slightly faulted. You need to have
PD> your LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. For the SFW packages make sure /opt/sfw/lib is
PD>
PD> in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and I'm not quite sure what it is for the
PD> sunfreeware.com versions, probably /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib).

PD> That should fix the problem both on Sparc and Intel (I've personally

PD> on the sparc versions too). Thanks to friend and co-worker Phil Brown
