Keith, It's a little hard to help, since you didn't provide the details of your attempt to install from source. (Compiler? command line for configure? ...)
Searching Google groups on 'mysql solaris cross compiling', I found numerous related threads. It appears that everyone who reported this problem was using the gcc binary from sunfreeware. Is that the case for you? I used the sunfreeware gcc binary to build/install gcc from source (2.95.3). Using this, I successfully built mysql-3.23.44 (and it passed all tests) on Solaris 8 sparc (an E450) with the command recommended in the manual <http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/o/Solaris.html>: CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3" \ CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-low-memory --enable-assembler Michael =============== Michael Stassen University Information Technology Services Indiana University Bloomington [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 9 Nov 2001, Keith W wrote: > Has anyone been able to get mysql-3.23.44 running on the Sparc platform > Solaris 8?
