On the MySQL download page, there is a warning for GCC 2.96/x86/Linux that reads thus: "Several of our users have reported random crashes and table corruption with MySQL binaries compiled with gcc 2.96 on the x86 Linux platform."
I was wondering what kind of crashes users had experienced. Crashes of the database server, or crashes of the entire system? I have been using a GCC 2.96 compiled MySQL binary on an AMD system for months without problems. But, I just installed a GCC 2.96 compiled binary** on a new Mandrake install, and today my server stopped responding after being up for a few days: couldn't ssh in, no console/keyboard/ctrl-alt-del. Nothing. Is this the kind of crash we are talking about, or should I look somewhere else? ** As to compiling with GCC 2.96, I don't have a choice. For MySQL to work with one of our Access applications I have to comment out one line of code (so SELECT...WHERE id = NULL behavior is the same as LAST_INSERT_ID() behavior). And I'm afraid that compiling on a system with GCC 2.95, and associated libraries would break dependencies, although I could try. Thanks for any help you can offer. j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler, Information Services Director Associated Students of the University of Alaska Fairbanks [EMAIL PROTECTED], 907-474-7601 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
