Error compiling (make) MySQL 4.1.x

[Jack Probe]

Hallo, sorry for my poor english .....
I didn't find the forum about compiling MySQL 4.1.x ... so I hope this is the right place ... :)

I use linux SLACKWARE 9 with :
glibc 2.3.1 , gcc 3.2.2, make 3.8, autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.3, libtool 1.4.3, bison 1.75 etc ..etc...

I installed MySQL 4.0.x source code (last one was 4.0.24) without problem ....

As I try to install MySQL 4.1.8, 4.1.10 & 4.1.10a source code, i got this :
*) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/data/mysql => o.k
*) make => error, below the error msg :

(bla .. bla ..) ../strings/libmystrings.a -lz -ldl -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread

Anyone can help ?? Many Thanks before ...
