I downloaded the AIX binary distribution of mysql 3.23.49. Unpacks OK, apart from camplaints about @LongLink:
402 % tar -xf mysql-3.23.49-ibm-aix4.3.3.0-rs6000.tar tar: can't create ././@LongLink: Permission denied tar: can't create ././@LongLink: Permission denied ... (repeated many times) When I try to run mysql (just to test) I get: ./mysql Could not load program ./mysql: Dependent module /usr/lib/libz.a(shr.o) could not be loaded. Member shr.o is not found in archive So, I build a new version of zlib with a shr.o, and put it at the start of LIBPATH. Now I get: 446 % ./mysql Could not load program ./mysql: Symbol resolution failed for mysql because: Symbol strcpy (number 131) is not exported from dependent module /home/ccaamrg/zlib-1.1.4/libz.a(shr.o). Symbol strcat (number 132) is not exported from dependent module /home/ccaamrg/zlib-1.1.4/libz.a(shr.o). Symbol memmove (number 134) is not exported from dependent module /home/ccaamrg/zlib-1.1.4/libz.a(shr.o). Symbol bcopy (number 135) is not exported from dependent module /home/ccaamrg/zlib-1.1.4/libz.a(shr.o). Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. But all the above (strcpy etc) are in libc.a Any clues, anybody? -- Mike Gahan Education and Information Support Division University College London http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ccaamrg/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
