Haven't had any problem until recently - but now attempting to build mysql 5.0.18 fails. It worked as far as .16, but both .17 and .18 have failed. I get the following error: ------------------- libtool15: link: cannot find the library `../zlib/libz.la' or unhandled argument `../zlib/libz.la' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-client/work/mysql-5.0.18/libmysql_r. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-client/work/mysql-5.0.18. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-client/work/mysql-5.0.18. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-client. ------------------- The other thing I notice is early on in the configure script, I get the following notice about zlib not being found - though I thought zlib was bundled system-wide. ------------------- checking for zlib compression library... system-wide zlib not found, using one bundled with MySQL ------------------- Any help in solving this would be appreciated.
