You need to make sure you have a FSU-threads library installed in /usr/lib. You can get this from ftp.mysql.com in the SCO directory or There is another site listed on the Caldera(SCO) Programmer FAQ on http://www.zenez.com/cgi-bin/scoprogfaq/faq.pl The answer to you perl problem is also there. Do a search for perl. You need to edit the mysql Makefile and add the -gthreads as instructed on the FAQ page.
