hi, the source rpm for mysql 3.23.49 contains build instructions for gnu compilers 2.95 or newer. redhat 6.2 comes with a compiler that cannot handle the "permissive" flag (i think its ecgs-2.91).
therefore the build fails. one solution could be to install a more recent compiler version and try to recompile again. be aware that actual rpm's will be created by rpm version 4, whereas redhat 6.2 has rpm version 3 installed which possibly cannot handle version-4-rpm's (although there had been a rpm-3 version which could _read_ rpm-4 packages - i think it was 3.0.5.) besides that, there may be glibc issues. redhat 6.2 has glibc 2.1.3 installed. i don't know if actual gcc or mysql versions work ok if compiled against this 'old' glibc. afaik, redhat does _not_ recommend to update the glibc version installed... if you dont have very specific reasons to stick with redhat 6.2 in my opinion it could be simpler just to install a later redhat version... not sure if this really helps... bye michael Gabriele Carioli wrote: > > Hi everybody... > > I've searched thrugh the lists (IMHO the search engine is > slow and the output sucks: what about a date column at the > beginning of each row in the post list and in search results?) > and the manual.
