I downloaded the solaris 8 mysql package from ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/8/mysql-3.22.26a-sol8-sparc-local.gz and installed it, but when i try to run /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld, it reports the following error to /usr/local/mysql/var/wakko.err: mysqld started on Thu Apr 12 15:29:39 PDT 2001 ld.so.1: /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: fatal: libstdc++.so.2.10.0: open failed: No such file or directory mysqld ended on Thu Apr 12 15:29:39 PDT 2001 any idea how to fix this? i tried looking for the libstdc++.so.2.10.0 library, but to no avail. Should i compile mysql from scratch or look more for the library. any ideas/experiences would be greatly appreciated. thanks, ethan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
