This is the exact error i am getting: # cd /usr/local/mysql # bin/mysqld /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: bin/mysqld: Undefined symbol "strtoll" I would GREATLY appreciate any help on this...i have looked through the email archives, as well as the manuals and documentation, but seen nothing to explain it. I am desperately in need of assistance, as my webhost WAS located 2 doors down from the Towers, and is no longer around....the servers are co-located in California...but i am utterly on my own now for server administration.
