Hello All,

I am having a problem getting DBD to compile on my SGI Altix with Itanium2 processors. I've downloaded the MySQL binary, mysql-standard-4.1.12-unknown-linux-gnu-ia64-icc-glibc23, and it appears to run fine.

When I try to do a make on DBD however I get errors that tell me: gprel relocation against dynamic symbol

From what I understand this is because I am running a MySQL that hasn't been configured with --with-pic. Do I need to download and recompile MySQL? I'm hesitant to do this, as the binary package as already been compiled with the Intel Compilers. Although I do have the 9.0 compilers, I fear it may be a whole pile of steps backwards as I try to get it to compile.

Please Advise, Chris Marzullo
