Hi dear mysql-users, Just to inform you that this solution still works (today the 21th november 2001).
Just note that the address has changed to http://216.184.67.245/libz.a Regards, Cyrille mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ I haven't read through any of the MySQL mailing lists in a while. Now that I do I see that lots of the AIX related questions involve problems with /usr/local/lib/libz.a as part of the "ZLib" compression library. The pre-compiled ZLib on http://www.bull.de/pub/ fails for me with the [shr.o] missing problems others have spoken of, etc... What I did was to download the source for ZLib and compile/install it and MySQL works just fine now. So, if it will help anyone the libz.a file which is working fine for me is downloadable at: http://216.98.81.199/libz.a I'd install zlib-1.1.3.2.exe from the Bull AIX Binary site and then replace libz.a with this one. Have done so on a half dozen machines and it's running fine everywhere. ...
