Compiling error in complete.c: filename_completion_function

[Sebastian Kayser]

Hi,
 
i get the following error when trying to compile MYSQL 3.23.40 with only
the --prefix option set:
 
 
complete.c: In funtion `filename_completion_function´:
complete.c:1467: syntax error before `*´
complete.c:1481: `directory´ undeclared (first use in this function)
complete.c:1484: `DIR´ undeclared (first use in this function)
 
 
but in complete.c these lines are as follows:
 
1463:       filename_completion_function (text,state)
1464:             char *text;
1465:             int state;
1466:       {
1467:             static DIR *directory = (DIR *)NULL;
                  .
                  .
                  .
1481:             if (directory)
 
 
It seems as if it doesn't get the DIR type. What's wrong with this ? 
 
I've read someone else that this can be because of a missing file
libread.a, but this file is located at /usr/lib/libread.a
 
Can someone help ?
 
Thanks,
