Description:
i have ibm p5 with aix 5.3 and i'm trying to install mysql-5.0.67-aix5.3-powerpc.tar.gz on it. 

How to repeat:
root@/usr/local/mysql=>scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/myprint_defaults because of the following
errors:
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol __pthread was referenced
      from module my_print_defaults(), but a runtime definition
      of the symbol was not found.
Neither host 'ns1.semcoinc.com' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
./bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script
with the --force option

my domain works fine. apache2.10 is running.

please help to fix it.

thank all,

Please, send the results of:

hostname
ping `hostname`

AIX commands.

This is a duplicate of bug#41397.

The root cause is that your AIX version should be upgraded to technology level 7 (5300-07).
Obviously, IBM has introduced a new symbol '__pthread' into the system libraries within AIX 5.3, and the MySQL binaries use this function, but your installation doesn't provide it.

See bug#41397, especially the comments of March 2 and 3, 2009.
