[cobalt-users] MySQL on a RAQ1

["Michael Perkinson" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I try to install MySQL 3.22.32 or the 3.23.27-beta, when I run the
configure script at the point where the system is checking the size of the
"char" type it returns 0 (Zero) and fails:

.....
checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes
checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h
checking size of char... 0
configure: error: No size for char type.
A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any
static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have
libm.a
in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place.  If this is the problem,
install the static libraries and try again.  If this isn't the problem,
examine config.log for possible errors.  If you want to report this, use
'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!

Anyone run into this before?  I wrote a quicky little .c program to check
the sizeof(char) return value and I got a 1 (as I expeced it would be) and
the libm.a library is in the /usr/lib directory.  Just kind of stumped on
this one.

Any help would be appreciated.
