Hi, I've downloaded mysql 3.23.46 version and currenlty runnig solaris 2.8 relase 10/00 on intel platform.
I'm getting the following error during the ./configure stage in creating my makefile. 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! # libm.a is in /usr/lib and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set as followed: # echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/orca/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/gnome/lib:/opt/orca/lib/perl:/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/lib:/usr/local/lib/glib:/usr/local/lib/mysql config.log has the following: # tail -20 config.log configure:6468: checking for off_t configure:6501: checking for st_rdev in struct stat configure:6514: gcc -c -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/software/local/mysql-3.23.46/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T conftest.c 1>&5 configure:6535: checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included configure:6549: gcc -c -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/software/local/mysql-3.23.46/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T conftest.c 1>&5 configure:6570: checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h configure:6583: gcc -c -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/software/local/mysql-3.23.46/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T conftest.c 1>&5 configure:6606: checking size of char configure:6625: gcc -o conftest -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/software/local/mysql-3.23.46/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T conftest.c -lpthread -lthread -lz -lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lthread 1>&5 configure: failed program was: #line 6614 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdio.h> main() { FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w"); if (!f) exit(1); fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(char)); exit(0); } I would appreciate any ideas on this. I have compiled mysql 3.20 version in the past with no problem but wondered if this is a bug? -- ************************************************************ *** Phillip B.
