Dear All, I am new to the mailing list so I apologise in advance if I am posting to the wrong place. Please direct me if I am wrong.
With Mac OS 10.1.5: Configuring like this was okay: ./configure --prefix=/user/local/mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-comment --with-debug Then issuing "make" went fine and compilation proceeded for a long while and then: HAREDIR="\"/user/local/mysql/share/mysql\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include -I./../regex -I. -I../include -I.. -I. -g -O -DSAFE_MUTEX -fno-implicit-templates -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -traditional-cpp -DHAVE_DARWIN_THREADS -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -c sql_udf.cc sql_udf.cc:57: dlfcn.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [sql_udf.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Further reading on various places on the internet seems to indicate that this header file (dlfcn.h) is not included with the Apple Developer Kit and, though I know very little about C++ compilation or programming, looking at the source file indeed shows that the header file in question is called for, but then doing a "locate dlfcn.h" after updating the locate db turns up nothing so I trust the file is not on my system. Is it necessary for me to go through the process of installing the 'dlcompat' package and if so, I wonder why that is not mentioned in any of the material about compilation on OS X. Can anyone answer my rather convoluted question? Thanks.
