hi, when using "--with-pthreads" on standard OSX 10.1.4, or pointing at "--named-threads-libs=-lpth" (for a gnu pth install), "configure" stops at:
checking need of special linking flags... none checking for working const... yes checking for inline... inline checking for off_t... yes checking for st_rdev in struct stat... yes checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h 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 does *not* exist on Darwin. rather, libm.dylib DOES exist, and apple's supposed to provide some "compatibility links" to its system framework ( i haven't yet figured this out .....) one option around this, i suppose, is to delete all references to "-lm" in all mysql files, but i don't think this is the right solution ...... help please? richard -------------------------------------- R Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.mac.com/blakers -------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
