Ok, I am doing what people suggested in DL'ing the Mysql source. Only thing is it complains about linuxthreads. So I am trying to install that:

elfi:/home/greg/linuxthreads-0.6# make gcc -pipe -O2 -Wall -m486 -D__BUILDING_LINUXTHREADS -Isysdeps/i386 -Ilibc_r -D_POSIX_THREADS -c pthread.c -o pthread.o In file included from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:9, from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:73, from pthread.h:26, from pthread.c:24: /usr/include/linux/config.h:4: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory make: *** [pthread.o] Error 1 elfi:/home/greg/linuxthreads-0.6#

and in /usr/include/linux/config.h at line 4:

elfi:/home/greg/linuxthreads-0.6# more /usr/include/linux/config.h #ifndef _LINUX_CONFIG_H #define _LINUX_CONFIG_H

#include <linux/autoconf.h>

Can I comment this out? Any ideas? I have also installed new gcc: elfi:/home/greg# gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnulibc1/2.95/specs gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)
