Hi All: I am running 3.23.39 and I compiled it using gcc 2.95.3. I am having a very difficult time getting *ANY* of the client progs to work (mysql, mysqladmin etc) ... they immediately seg faults and core dumps without any message. mysqld is running fine ... with debug on it says waiting to connections (I can telenet to the port etc) I found a similar problem listed in the archive (shown below) but there were no resolution posted. I need to get a resolution soon ... spending my second day on this and it is getting really frustrating. I'm about to ditch this but the application that we are installing requires mysql as its database so I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. regards Imran --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My environment is shown below: >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: <synopsis of the problem (one line)> >Severity: <[ non-critical | serious | critical ] (one line)> >Priority: <[ low | medium | high ] (one line)> >Category: mysql >Class: <[ sw-bug | doc-bug | change-request | support ] (one line)> >Release: mysql-3.23.39 (Source distribution) >Environment: <machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)> System: SunOS radius2 5.5.1 Generic_103640-31 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCclassic Architecture: sun4 Some paths: /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/make /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='' CXX='c++' CXXFLAGS='' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1159728 Dec 24 1999 /lib/libc.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 11 1998 /lib/libc.so -> ./libc.so.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 665816 Dec 24 1999 /lib/libc.so.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1159728 Dec 24 1999 /usr/lib/libc.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 11 1998 /usr/lib/libc.so -> ./libc.so.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 665816 Dec 24 1999 /usr/lib/libc.so.1 Configure command: ./configure --prefix=/export/mysql --with-debug # Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 14:11:27 -0600 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marcin Owsiany wrote: > > Hello! > I have created mysql 3.22.25 from a source package.

Make sure everything is what you've actually built from source. -- Sasha Pachev
