In some implementations, readdir_r()
is broken. The symptom is that
SHOW DATABASES
always returns an empty set. This can be fixed by
removing HAVE_READDIR_R
from `config.h' after configuring and
before compiling.
Some problems will require patching your Linux installation. The patch can
be found at
http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/patches/Linux-sparc-2.0.30.diff.
This patch is against the Linux distribution `sparclinux-2.0.30.tar.gz'
that is available at vger.rutgers.edu
(a version of Linux that was
never merged with the official 2.0.30). You must also install LinuxThreads
Version 0.6 or newer.
