All, I have been using MySQL version 3.23.33 on my Alpha box for quite a while now. A month or two ago I tried to update to mysql-max-4.0.1 only to learn that the binary was built on an EV6 processor and would not work on the EV56 chip.
I could but knowing what a pain it would be for me to pull together all the latest software to build my own... I was hoping MySQL AB might be able to compile a binary package for an EV56 chip? Or perhaps someone has already built a binary that works on my Alpha box (uname and cpuinfo below)? BTW the reason I am using the EV56 is because the box was free... Upgrading is not a priority, my MySQL server is way underutilized, so if it proves too time consuming or troublesome I just won't upgrade. However, I have an Intel PC operating as my replication slave which is running 4.0.1 and the lack of symmetry bugs me. Also I would like to toy with some of the features in version 4 that are not in 3.23.
