Hi,

Do I need to write the way I follow to arrive at
this step or do I have to follow a very strict mail
with a special body and special subject ?

Best regards.

You just have to write it so that we can repeat a bug.

If this is a build error on Linux, please just use our binaries and do
not bother with building.

Is there any special reason that you need to build them yourself.

As the reply mail said:

>> If you are able to describe how we can repeat the problem, include the string
>> "How-To-Repeat:" in the body of your message.

The reason your first email bounced was that you didn't have the
string 'how-to-repeat' in they email.

Normally one should always use the 'mysqlbug' script to post a letter
to this email list. If you would have done that, then you would
automaticly got the email in the appropriate form.

The above happens because configure, because of some unknown reason,
didn't detect the right gethostbyname argument syntax for your setup.

Your config.h should look as follows:

#define HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_GLIBC2_STYLE 1

/* In OSF 4.0f the 3'd argument to gethostname_r is hostent_data * */
/* #undef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_RETURN_INT */

There is two ways to proceed:

- Check in config.log for why the detection of gethostbyname_r fails,
try to correct configure.in and send us a patch for future MySQL
releases.
- Edit config.h with an editor and fix the above rows.
(In your case you have probably a comment around the first #define)

Regards,
Monty
