How to repeat:
Try and install our IA64 RHEL4 RPMs on another IA64 RHEL4 machine.

It is the server package that has this dependency. I do think this is a OS bug.
The symbol '__libm_error_support' seems to be defined in several places, and
somehow this has made the "mysqld" and "mysqld-debug" binaries depend
on the private/local definition

Hi,

I'm getting the same behaviour on RHEL5:

error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit) is needed by MySQL-server-advanced-gpl-5.1.31sp1-0.rhel5.ia64

Packages and files are there:

Please make sure the RHEL5 rpm is also fixed.

Hi,

I have the same problem and I need a solution as soon as possible.

Thanks

For reference, a description what this "private" in glibc is all about

  http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/GLIBC_PRIVATE--ftopict469390.html

After finding the cause and discussing the problem in the <libtool@gnu.org>
mailing list, I settled to fix this by modifying the "/usr/lib/libunwind.la" files on
the build hosts. You can read more about it in

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-10/msg00011.html

Suggested comment for documenting this issue:

During the build of the Red Hat IA64 MySQL server RPM, the system library
link order was incorrect. This made the resulting Red Hat IA64 RPM depend
on "libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit)", thus preventing the install of the
package.
 
This problem will be corrected in MySQL server 5.0.88 and 5.1.41.

Noted in 5.0.88, 5.1.41, 5.5.0, 6.0.14 changelogs.

I believe there was a bug in my computer.  I had just finished doing my families passports renewals and my system almost suddenly crashed.  I am not sure how this happened. I live in the San Diego area, and wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything like that?
