Helo ! My system is Sparc Solaris 7 uname SunOS test 5.7 Generic_106541-15 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-2. MySQL version is -3.23.38 . When i trying to run the ./configure
script it writes the following -

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!

Static library libm.a is in /usr/lib/ (and /lib). The last 20 rows from config
log is : configure:6491: checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h configure:6504: gcc -c -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H
