>Description: I am evaluating mysql for use with our website and internal workings and cannot get MYSQL configure on our Sun/Sparc Ultra 450. If we use the mysql application we will buy support but until I can get it to install I am unable to do any tests against our current website configuration for speed and reliability. Output from "./configure" checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h checking size of char... 0 configure: error: No size for char type. A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have libm.a in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem, install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem, examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use 'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!
