Description:
I'm compiling mysql versus VisualAge C/C++ 6.0 on AIX 5.3TL7.  The configure completes normally, but, on the make, there is an error on mysql.cc.

# ./configure \
--prefix=/opt/mysql/5.0.67 \
--without-server \
--enable-thread-safe-client \
--enable-large-files
...
# make
...
cc -qlanglvl=ansi -O -DDBUG_OFF -o conf_to_src conf_to_src.o  -lpthread ../zlib/.libs/libzlt.a -lnsl_r -lm
Target "all" is up to date.

How to repeat:

--enable-large-files
...
# make

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to execute

export CFLAGS="-I /usr/vac/include -I /usr/include -ma"
export CXXFLAGS="-I /usr/vac/include -I /usr/include -ma"

before running ./configure and check if that will change anything.

That fixed the issue.  Thanks for the quick response!

# /opt/mysql/5.0.67/bin/mysql --version

Actually, I'd say this is a bug. configure should be able to find out what exact directories should be listed with -I for successful compilation.
