Grant, if you compile MySQL in 64 bits mode you will have to compile PHP in 64 bit mode and therefore also Apache. This means you’d better of compiling everythign in 64 bits mode. It will make everything just a bit quicker!

What are the impacts of using 64 bit instead of 32? Do I have to (re)compile everything in 64 bit mode to have everything work together? E.g., can Apache compiled in 64 bit mode run mods compiled in 32 bit mode – or can it only run 64 bit mods? Thanks for your help!

Jared, are you sure you’ve downloaded the correct source package from Mysql.com. It should be one of the last packages at the bottom of the download page.

Getting a problem when trying to compile mysql after following all you other instructions. This is probable a simple issue but I can’t get my head around it. I get “-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory” at the commands listed above. I compiled Apache correctly and I know my path looks good. Ideas? Thanx
