Bruce,

We seem to be on the right track here.

I am now able to get the mysql_config file to be used when running Makefile.

However, when I said I was a newbie I wasn't trying to be modest.

There is one last step I need to do, and I am hoping you can help (or anyone else).

I need to be able to edit the mysql_config file to tell it to use my gcc compiler.

All I have in the documentation is the statement,

If you know the directory, add a

-L<directory> -lgcc

to the list of C compiler flags.

I know the directory (/usr/bin/libgcc.a) but I don't know how to add this to the config file.

I tried editting cflags line, but this just seems to make things worse.

Any help on how to do this would be a life saver.

Thanks.

Pete
