2SSL ERRORS DURING "make"
3------------------------------------------------------------------------
4If "make" fails with a bunch of SSL-related looking errors, you probably
5have a MySQL client library that requires OpenSSL support.  Rerun
6the "configure" script as "./configure --with-openssl" and try to "make"
7again.

11"ZLIB" LINKER ERRORS DURING "make"
12------------------------------------------------------------------------
13If compilation fails with an error like "libtool: link: cannot find the
14library `/usr/lib/mysql/libz.la'", this is a bug in MySQL.
15
16If you are running MySQL 4.1, version 4.1.16 (and possibly later) is
17known to have this bug.  I haven't tried version 4.1.15.  Version 4.1.14
18is known to work fine.  Downgrading to 4.1.14 will work.
19
20If you are running MySQL 5.x, I can't help you much since I don't run
21those versions myself and haven't heard any other reports of the error.
22http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-17.html says:
23
24    "The original Linux RPM packages (5.0.17-0) had an issue
25     with a zlib dependency that would result in an error
26     during an install or upgrade.  They were replaced by new
27     binaries, 5.0.17-1".
28
29I do not know if that means the bug is limited to 5.0.17, or all
30prior versions, or what.  Please email bboy@bboy.net if you can give me
31a definitive answer to put in here.
