Actually MySQL 4.0 should compile (and compiles in general case) with OpenSSL
0.9.7. OpenSSL provides backward compatibility with special macros for des_
functions and types. These macros are defined by default unless someone turns
off them explicitly by defining OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT macro
variable.

So probably your case is something NetBSD specific. But anyway these
function are deprecated and should be replaced by their newer versions.

Being inspired by your patch I've fixed this issue, and commited fix to our
source repository. The fix will be availiable in next 4.0 release. You can
access to source repository and build fixed version yourself if needed
(see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html for more info).

Thank you, for exposing this problem and providing its solution !

We don't ship the des_old.h header with NetBSD-current.

Only a bit;-)

OK, thanks. I'll have a look.

Cheers,
