Hi there, I was following the instructions to compile the latest version of mysql for Mac OS X, when I ran into a few errors.
I downloaded the source file as per the instructions from Apple (http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html), and then followed the instructions on mysql (http://www.mysql.com/doc/Q/u/Quick_install.html). I had already added the group and user with an OS X utility called Net Info. Furthermore, the source file had already been unpacked on my desktop automatically, by a utility called Stuffit. I placed the source file in the directory I wanted to use. I went to that directory via command line and initiated the configuration. I added a few options based on the suggestions from Apple (http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html). These were the results: [cpe0030654b7478:/library/mysql/mysql-3.23.49] dport% ./configure --prefix=/Library/mysql --with-unix-socket- path=/Library/mysql/run/mysql_socket --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-comment --with-debug loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.2 checking target system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.2 checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.2 checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... no checking for working aclocal... missing checking for working autoconf... missing checking for working automake... missing checking for working autoheader... missing checking for working makeinfo... missing checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}...

Could it be that I simply don't have a compiler installed? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
