Hello, I’m having trouble getting MariaDB 5.1.42 working on Solaris 10x86. I’ve tried both the Binary package (mariadb-5.1.42-solaris11-i386) and building from source (mariadb-5.1.42). I don't know if it's something in the binary package or source code, something goofy on my system, or something goofy with how I'm building it. I'm assuming the latter, but thought I might bring it up anyway just in case it might help others running Solaris. :-) I can’t get the binary dist to startup. Here’s the error log from the binary dist (note the hostname missing from the error log name)… $ cat data/.err 100212 09:54:33 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /data01/mydata/mariadb-bin-tst/data ld.so.1: mysqld: fatal: relocation error: file bin/mysqld: symbol strnlen: referenced symbol not found 100212 09:54:33 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /data01/mydata/mariadb-bin-tst/mysql.pid ended I’m using SunStudio 12.1 to build from source.

I've tried everything I can think of and have spent many hours doing so. I'm pretty excited to try out XtraDB, PBXT, and, of course, MariaDB. -- - Jim Grill
