Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
see http://lists.blitzed.org/pipermail/services/2003-October/000891.html

it has to do with ld and static vs dynamic?

the documentation is horribly insufficient here.

rpmbuild --rebuild src.rpm (is the wrong approach/doesnt work )

How to repeat:
[jpyeron@server2 jpyeron]$ mysql -u root

Suggested fix:

USE MySQL-Max RPM

Annotate these sections to explain to use MySQL-Max or recompile MySQL with dynamic linking enabled.

13.2.2 Adding a New User-definable Function
13.2.2.5 Compiling and Installing User-definable Functions

The manual already includes this information.

Thank you.

the information is not indexed
it is not easiliy serchable
nor are there links to sections which clearly point such information out.

would it be better if I provide a diff for you?

The second and third paragraphs of 13.2.2 "Adding a New User-definable Function" contain the information you suggested, which seems a logical enough place to have it.  Are you viewing the current version of the manual?

You are welcome to submit changes, but, as above, we do already have this information in the manual.
