MySQL 4.0.23 installation error

[VEL_1]

Hi All,

When I configure MySQL 4.0.23 on Fedora Core release 4, I got the following problem:

# ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mysql -localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data -disable-maintainer-mode -with-mysqld-user=mysql -enable-large-files-without-debug
.....
....
checking "LinuxThreads"... "Not found"
configure: error: This is a linux system and Linuxthreads was not
found. On linux Linuxthreads should be used. Please install Linuxthreads
(or a new glibc) and try again. See the Installation chapter in the
Reference Manual for more information.


Where to get the LinuxThreads for Fedora core 4?

I am having the following glib versions:

# rpm -qa | grep -i glib
glibc-2.3.5-10
glibc-devel-2.3.5-10
glibc-common-2.3.5-10
glib2-2.6.4-1
glibc-headers-2.3.5-10
glib2-devel-2.6.4-1
dbus-glib-0.33-3
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.94
glib-1.2.10-16

See the release notes:

You can download mysql-4.1.14 rpm from here:

Hi, I found out something here
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=972

try configure with suggested:
--with-named-thread-libs=ARG

The only way thats ever worked for me is rpm's off the redhat/fedora distribution cd.
