./configure does not complete for 5.1.45
I am trying to build MySQL from source mysql-5.1.45 on a Ubuntu 9.10 Server. This is my first time using MySQl - so I am greatful for any help.
I downloaded the following:-
"Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive":- msql-5.1.45.tar.gz.
To my /usr/local/src directory
change to directory /usr/local/src
logged in as root: su followed by root password
uncompress the source files: gunzip < msql-5.1.45.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Create a link referring to directory: mysql-5.1.45 in the /usr/local directory: ln -s /usr/local/src/mysql-5.1.45 mysql
add a group: groupadd mysql
add a user : useradd -g mysql mysql
change to the msql directory: cd mysql
ran the following command (note all these are provided via the installation notes)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
At this point there was not make file (so I could not run "make" followed by "make install"
I found these errors in the config.log file:-
configure:7059: gcc -E conftest.c
conftest.c:10:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:7066: $? = 1
configure:7166: gcc -E conftest.c
conftest.c:10:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:7173: $? = 1
configure:18196: gcc -E conftest.c
conftest.c:34:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:18203: $? = 1
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:77: error: expected expression before ')' token
configure:21054: $? = 1
Note these errors appear a few times throughout the log file.
Not sure what to do next.
Kind Regards,
Jerry Tavares
