Kostas> Kostas Gewrgiou. Hi! MySQL 3.22.27 and MySQL 3.23.4 and above we now detect the glibc version and will not use LFS if glibc < 2.1 We have successfully compiled MySQL on RedHat 6.0 without having to patch anything, so it looks like this is now fixed. If you still get the problem on your machine with the above MySQL version, please mail me and we will look at it once more! Regards, Monty
