 14.5.1 Operating Systems Supported by `BDB'
 -------------------------------------------
 
 Currently, we know that the `BDB' storage engine works with the
 following operating systems:
 
    * Linux 2.x Intel
 
    * Sun Solaris (SPARC and x86)
 
    * FreeBSD 4.x/5.x (x86, sparc64)
 
    * IBM AIX 4.3.x
 
    * SCO OpenServer
 
    * SCO UnixWare 7.1.x
 
    * Windows NT/2000/XP
 
 The `BDB' storage engine does _not_ work with the following operating
 systems:
 
    * Linux 2.x Alpha
 
    * Linux 2.x AMD64
 
    * Linux 2.x IA-64
 
    * Linux 2.x s390
 
    * Mac OS X
 
 * The preceding lists are not complete. We update them as we
 receive more information.
 
 If you build MySQL from source with support for `BDB' tables, but the
 following error occurs when you start `mysqld', it means that the `BDB'
 storage engine is not supported for your architecture:
 
      bdb: architecture lacks fast mutexes: applications cannot be threaded
      Can't init databases
 
 In this case, you must rebuild MySQL without `BDB' support or start the
 server with the -skip-bdb option.
