Description:
This bug became apparent while I was looking at BUG#14286.  If the source tree is configured
to not build any transactional engine, a number of source files fail to compile.

How to repeat:
./configure --without-innodb --without-berkeley-db --without-ndbcluster
make

I was unable to repeat this issue with current BK's source. So looks
already fixed:

miguel@hegel:~/t> cd 5.0/
miguel@hegel:~/t/5.0> bin/mysql -uroot

Hi,

The method I applied was your how to repeat instructions:

./configure --without-innodb --without-berkeley-db --without-ndbcluster
make

and notice with the latest BK source.

Verified on FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE/i386 (really AMD 32) and Linux 2.6 on AMD 64.  This problem appears to be related to incorrect configuration assumptions about availability of the readline library, which of course has nothing to do with the absence of transactional engines.

Premlinary investigation shows that the configuration file generated by the sameple config call has multiple differences from the normal config file.  In particular, READLINE is not included.

This is a marginal glitch in the build process.  After reconfiguring in the manner described, it is necessary to run a 'make clean' before building.  If this is done, the problem will not occur.

Arguably, this is a bug in the build process.  I don't think that it's serious enough by itself to leave it open.  Any review of the build process should take it into account, however.
