[NTLUG:Discuss] mysql configure/make head-banger

[Dennis Daupert]

Hi folks,

I've tried to get a post out to the mysql mailing list for several days,
but for some reason
it keeps getting bounced back. But I'm trying to install on linux, so maybe
this is the best
list to post on, after all :-)

I'm trying to install mysql 3.23.51 on SuSE 8 from the source tarball. I
did ./config, then make.

There are the last few lines from make:

 libmysql.c: In function `mysql_real_connect':
 libmysql.c:1325: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r' from
 incompatible pointer type
 libmysql.c:1325: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r'
 libmysql.c:1325: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
 cast
 make[2]: *** [libmysql.lo] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/perl/downloads/db/mysql-3.23.51/libmysql'
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/perl/downloads/db/mysql-3.23.51'
 make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Here's some info from the mysql debug tool:

Can someone repoint me to the right direction?
