RSS feedYes it’s finally there, the version that includes shared libraries in the binary distribution package which would mean we never have to recompile MySQL ourselves. I’ve downloaded the package and installed it on my test server. The installation went without a problem as usual, but trying to compile PHP brought a new issue, some linking issue with zlib libraries.
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib(inflate.o) definition of _inflateInit_
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libz.dylib(inflate.o) definition of _inflateInit_
etc...
I guess we still need to recompile. I hope it is not due to some left over trial I did earlier, could someone confirm my findings ?

Hi Richard,
I’ve already compiled MySQL 5.0.41 by myself on a Intel MacMini. When compiling it you get the same problem as long you are using the bundled zlib. If you compile with the option –with-zlib-dir=/usr (insteed of: –with-zlib-dir=bundled) MySQL will compile fine.
Best regards
Dani

Dani, thanks for trying it out. I’ll see what happens during compilation and I guess I need to change the compile settings to get the correct zlib library.
I don’t know how these errors can be prevented using compiler settings. If anyone does please let us know !
