Hello,

so I managed to get around the problem -- Unresolved text symbol "__record_needed_destruction" -- by upgrading compilers to 7.3.1.2 (from 7.3.0). I made 'make clean; make' afterwards. However, I got later on:

Any ideas? Irix 6.5.10. BTW: Could someone kick me into the right direction, how can I make readonly databases, so that I would totally avoid locking? ("mysqld --skip-locking" doesn't do the trick, it seems) and I can't find it in doc on your web. Would be of help to put databases on a RO mounted volume? That machine is linux. TIA.
