Description:
I am attempting to do a source install under IBM's z/OS version 1 release 4 operating system which is a posix compliant unix.  When I run the configure command under the unix shell it fails with numerous messages indicating insufficient memory when running with the --help option.

My first question is, what kind of program is configure, i.e. is it an executable or some sort of script?  If a script then what language interpreter is needed and is the file itself a text or binary file?

How to repeat:
run config --help

Thank you for a problem report. 

The following command (file) should work on any Unix system:

[openxs@Fedora mysql-4.1]$ file configure
configure: Bourne shell script text executable

So, it is a shell script. You may read it in any text editor to figure out what other POSIX/GNU utilities needed to build successfully. But I'd better recommend you to use our binaries for Linux OS/390 platform. Consult with IBM on how to do it. You may also buy a commercial support contract and have MySQL engineers to figure out all the details for you.

What do you think about all these?
