I'm unable to use the MySQL official HP-UX binaries, because they don't contain shared libraries in their DEPOT distribution that I need for things like PHP and DBD driver for PERL. I also have problems because the MySQL binaries are compiled using HP's own C++ compiler, which causes all kinds of problems when other stuff is compiled using GCC, and you want them to work together. I'm attempting to compile it myself from the sources. I've generally always had good luck compiling from source with GCC, except with this recent version. This is what I'm using for options in ./configure ./configure --prefix=/opt/mysql --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile Compiling MySQL-4.1.14 on HP-UX using GCC-4.0.1 fails with the linker error: /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols: Rotate_log_event::is_valid() (first referenced in slave.o) (data) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The compile step fails in the directory mysql-4.1.14/sql g++ -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -O3 -march=2.0 -fno-implicit-templates -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -DHPUX11 -DSNPRINTF_RETURN_TRUNC -DHAVE_BROKEN_PREAD -DDONT_USE_FINITE -D_INCLUDE_LONGLONG -DNO_FCNTL_NONBLOCK -DDO_NOT_REMOVE_THREAD_WRAPPERS -DHAVE_BROKEN_PTHREAD_COND_TIMEDWAIT -o mysqld sql_lex.o sql_handler.o item.o item_sum.o item_buff.o item_func.o item_cmpfunc.o item_strfunc.o item_timefunc.o thr_malloc.o item_create.o item_subselect.o item_row.o item_geofunc.o field.o strfunc.o key.o sql_class.o sql_list.o net_serv.o protocol.o sql_state.o lock.o my_lock.o sql_string.o sql_manager.o sql_map.o mysqld.o password.o hash_filo.o hostname.o set_var.o sql_parse.o sql_yacc.o sql_base.o table.o sql_select.o sql_insert.o sql_prepare.o sql_error.o sql_update.o sql_delete.o uniques.o sql_do.o procedure.o item_uniq.o sql_test.o log.o log_event.o init.o derror.o sql_acl.o unireg.o des_key_file.o discover.o time.o opt_range.o opt_sum.o records.o filesort.o handler.o ha_heap.o ha_myisam.o ha_myisammrg.o ha_berkeley.o ha_innodb.o ha_isam.o ha_isammrg.o ha_ndbcluster.o sql_db.o sql_table.o sql_rename.o sql_crypt.o sql_load.o mf_iocache.o field_conv.o sql_show.o sql_udf.o sql_analyse.o sql_cache.o slave.o sql_repl.o sql_union.o sql_derived.o client.o sql_client.o mini_client_errors.o pack.o stacktrace.o repl_failsafe.o gstream.o spatial.o sql_help.o protocol_cursor.o tztime.o my_time.o ha_example.o ha_archive.o ha_tina.o ha_blackhole.o ../innobase/usr/libusr.a ../innobase/srv/libsrv.a ../innobase/dict/libdict.a ../innobase/que/libque.a ../innobase/srv/libsrv.a ../innobase/ibuf/libibuf.a ../innobase/row/librow.a
