Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to run MySql on DSL. I have compiled it on Debian, I have packaged it up and now I'm testing things on DSL. So far so good and I have overcome some problems along the way.

When running the mysql test suite I receive the following error.
/lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.3.4 not found.

It appears to me that DSL has version 2.3.2 of glibc.so.6
I notice that my version of Debian has version 2.3.5

I tried putting libc.so.6 from debian into mysql/lib on DSL and I received a message about private links so it apears to me that it can't simply be moved.

I notice that /lib/libc.so.6 is a link to the actual library in the KNOPPIX directory but I'm not game to change that as I don't know what else it will break.

Any ideas on how I can fix this problem or another way to get a working mysql?

The application I'm actually trying to use requires Mysql so it isn't a simple matter of using a different DB.

Any ideal appricated.

Thanks

David

I suggest compiling it on DSL.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to compile complicated programs on DSL before and wound up lost in missing dependancies.

Has anyone tried compiling MySql on DSL before?

I'm happy to give it a go but I don't really want to bang my head against the wall just for fun
