Very Computer

I switched my server from linux debian to NetBSD 1.6.

All when fine until I tried to do ./configure for the mysql-3.23.52
from the source tar.gz.

Problem is, it keeps looping saying "can't cd to mit-pthreads".  I did
my homework and seeked a solution on mailing list, google etc and got
nothing good.  I installed mit-pthread 1.60b6 from the 1.6 packages
collection of netbsd without any success, it's still whinning about not
being able to change directory mit-pthreads....    I tried ./configure
--without-mit-pthread but even if in the docs it says linux need linux
threads and others like freebsd and solaris need maybe mit-pthreads I
thought I could get around without it (not logic but hey, I tried).

Then lot's of bad stuff is said about using mit pthreads with mysql...
I haven't quite completely understood what were the differences but...
Can you tell me if there's a patch something I could do to compile it
anyway and get to use it with the stability it's supposed to have when
compiled without problems etc...

(oh btw, I tried the beta 4.0.4 version... not working either).
It is telling me the same thing on and on and on (./configure will never
stop)
It restart from the beginning over and over... until a deadly kill -9 or
whatever.

Have a pleasant day, hope to get feedbacks soon!

We removed MIT-pthreads from the source distribution a while ago. If
you need it, please download the tarball from our website:

http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/pthreads-1_60_beta6-mysql.tar.gz

Untar this file into the MySQL source directory (it will create a subdirectory
"mit-pthreads") and try again.

Bye,
