i'm about to do this tonight as i'm setting up a desktop system to do my local development on, all i can say is redhat and gnome is slow as hell !, i only have 160 meg ram on the machine and after loading a few apps it only has 4 meg ram left ! plus the apt package manager for redhat is slow as hell much quucker to rpm in the console although i usually do mysql from source anyway, but this tool is meant to get dependancies it gets the packages fine but installing could take up to 40 mins.
seriously it hasnt won me over from windoze as yet, unless someone would care to tell me what x windoze i should use and what settings i should to to optimise the system for a celeron 500 :\. Anyway i'll let you know how i go tonight. Btw its best if you can paste the configure/make messages from the console > On Thu, Sep 11, 2003 at 10:22:13AM -0400, Peter Koutsoulias wrote: >> I couldn't find an appropriate mailing list for compiling MySQL, so I >> thought I'd try here. >> >> anyone successfully compile MySQL 4 on RedHat 9?
