There was some reasons. Afair, MySQL is not the only software which could not be statically linked with OpenSSL.

On Linux, yes - because of the glibc. > The section of your manual describing what some of the glibc problems > are is helpful; do you know if the linuxthreads-2.2.2 patch made it > into glibc at some point?

No, thread stack size is still too big in latest 2.2.x glibc branch. :( It's not clear what's about thread stack size in glibc 2.3.x. > We're moving to 64-bit soon, primarily to be able to run MySQL with > more RAM. You can compile and replace the system glibc by yourself. I did so and it's safe in terms of thread stack size. But it's not the easiest task and you should be very careful doing this, because it's a main library in the OS. Also you have to take your Linux's vendor glibc source package and apply all his patches to your customized glibc to ensure that replacing will not break something else. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
