>Description: When I was installing mysql from sources, I got a strange error. I looked at what was going on, and this is what I got. first of all, here's the error in from my "make" /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -O6 -DDBUG_OFF -rdynamic -o conf_to_src conf_to_src.o -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread mkdir .libs gcc -O6 -DDBUG_OFF -rdynamic -o conf_to_src conf_to_src.o -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.5, needed by /lib/libdl.so, may conflict with libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.5: the `getwd' function is dangerous and should not be used. /lib/libc.so.5: warning: `siggetmask' is obsolete; `sigprocmask' is best /lib/libc.so.5: warning: getresgid is not implemented and will always fail ./conf_to_src .. latin1 > \ ./ctype_extra_sources.c make[2]: *** [ctype_extra_sources.c] Error 139 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/darkness/devel/mysql/mysql-3.23.36/strings' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/darkness/devel/mysql/mysql-3.23.36' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 I found that the conf_to_src program was seg faulting and not finishing that last bit of that file. (say, three lines and the }; that it needs) >How-To-Repeat: I just did ./configure; make and the above error happened. >Fix: I relinked the conf_to_src program (which I don't think did anything) and ran it again, outputting the data to console. I it still segfaulted, but all the data was on the screen, so I copied it into ctype_extra_src.c (is that right?) and then did "make" again. It seems to be compling fine. The first time I just added the "};" and didn't think about the missing data, it complied but mysqld segfaulted right away. Then I went and upgraded (I was using .32 the first time.. now I'm using .36). I hope this helps. I'm not sure. :-) Please feel free to contact me about any questions with this bug. please user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". thanks! p.s. this computer is a heap I had to take over when I got the job. I'm not sure if there are lib conflicts, but... I'll take a closer look. >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Seer Snively >Organization: -- Seer Snively -- Lead Slacker -- Nethelp International > >MySQL support: none <| licence | email support | extended email support ]> >Synopsis: make fails because conf_to_src seg faults >Severity: >Priority: >Category: mysql >Class: >Release: mysql-3.23.32 (Source distribution) >Environment: System: Linux cpi 2.2.6 #6 SMP Wed Jun 16 10:31:30 PDT 1999 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95/specs gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='' CXX='c++' CXXFLAGS='' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 12 1999 /lib/libc.so.4 -> libc.so.4.7.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 634880 Jun 4 1996 /lib/libc.so.4.7.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 12 1999 /lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.46 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 614840 Oct 5 1998 /lib/libc.so.5.4.46 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 16 1999 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.0.7.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2365709 Jun 16 1999 /lib/libc-2.0.6.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 652412 Oct 24 1998 /lib/libc-2.0.7.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10464086 Jun 16 1999 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Jun 16 1999 /usr/lib/libc.so Configure command: ./configure Perl: This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
