Neither of the two binary mysql-max 3.23.41 from the MySQL website will run on my system after installation. Both configure and mysql_install_db fail due to missing dynamic link libraries /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 and libnsl.so.1. The system does have libdl.so and libnsl.so. The source distribution won’t compile; I have GNU compiler 2.95.2 along with the OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries installed. The most prominent compiler error appears to be related to missing UnixWare thread libraries, implying that it needs not just the proprietary SCO OpenServer development system, but the combined OpenServer/Unixware system. I was going to try and compile FSUpthreads to see if that would substitute, but that failed as well. I had not tried to install the package on SCO’s skunkware site, as it was 3.21 without transaction support. However, I tried that next, found that both FSUpthreads 3.5 and 3.9 packages were available at the skunkware site, and it installed and ran after installing FSUpthreads 3.5. Neither of the two libraries above was present in /usr/lib after the install. I haven’t yet had time to try compiling the source distribution again, now that I have found FSUpthreads. 1) Why does the binary distribution fail? Would expect it to run with libraries available on any OpenServer System. 2) Would recompiling the source distribution with the GNU compiler after installing FSUpthreads 3.9 be successful? My office server runs OpenServer only because a critical financial application runs on only SCO or AIX, actually using an older dbms backend (Unify). The server is the only system on the LAN with DAT backup, hence the choice of SCO for mysql. I do plan to lobby the vendor to switch to linux and mysql. The other alternative if a current mysql-max distribution won’t run on SCO is to run it on a WinXP system on the LAN, and copy the data directories to the server each night with one of the SAMBA utilities. The office LAN and planned mysql application are small enough that this approach won’t impair performance. David P.
