 2.12.1.5 Linux x86 Notes
 ........................
 
 MySQL requires `libc' 5.4.12 or newer. It is known to work with `libc'
 5.4.46.  `glibc' 2.0.6 and later should also work.  There have been
 some problems with the `glibc' RPMs from Red Hat, so if you have
 problems, check whether there are any updates. The `glibc' 2.0.7-19 and
 2.0.7-29 RPMs are known to work.
 
 If you are using Red Hat 8.0 or a new `glibc' 2.2.x library, you may
 see `mysqld' die in `gethostbyaddr()'. This happens because the new
 `glibc' library requires a stack size greater than 128KB for this call.
 To fix the problem, start `mysqld' with the -thread-stack=192K option.
 (Use -O thread_stack=192K before MySQL 4.) This stack size is the
 default on MySQL 4.0.10 and above, so you should not see the problem.
 
 If you are using `gcc' 3.0 and above to compile MySQL, you must install
 the `libstdc++v3' library before compiling MySQL; if you don't do this,
 you get an error about a missing `__cxa_pure_virtual' symbol during
 linking.
 
 On some older Linux distributions, `configure' may produce an error
 like this:
 
      Syntax error in sched.h. Change _P to __P in the
      /usr/include/sched.h file.
      See the Installation chapter in the Reference Manual.
 
 Just do what the error message says. Add an extra underscore to the
 `_P' macro name that has only one underscore, and then try again.
 
 You may get some warnings when compiling. Those shown here can be
 ignored:
 
      mysqld.cc -o objs-thread/mysqld.o
      mysqld.cc: In function `void init_signals()':
      mysqld.cc:315: warning: assignment of negative value `-1' to
      `long unsigned int'
      mysqld.cc: In function `void * signal_hand(void *)':
      mysqld.cc:346: warning: assignment of negative value `-1' to
      `long unsigned int'
 
 If `mysqld' always dumps core when it starts, the problem may be that
 you have an old `/lib/libc.a'. Try renaming it, and then remove
 `sql/mysqld' and do a new `make install' and try again. This problem
 has been reported on some Slackware installations.
 
 If you get the following error when linking `mysqld', it means that your
 `libg++.a' is not installed correctly:
 
      /usr/lib/libc.a(putc.o): In function `_IO_putc':
      putc.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `_IO_putc'
 
 You can avoid using `libg++.a' by running `configure' like this:
 
      shell> CXX=gcc ./configure
