Configure seems to expect the MySQL binaries to be in the PATH environment variable, which complicated things for me since I have three different versions of MySQL on my development machine. Another parameter like --with-mysql-bin-dir would be great.
Setting the PATH for one run of a "configure" script is just as easy.
Yes, but inconsistent. ;-)
The only response is to say that your system needs to be fixed so that the linkers know where the libraries are, and that the list of libraries available at compile time is the same as what is available at run time.
You're right, this seems to be a know problem with some MySQL installations. Here's a very interessting article how linking works in Mac OS X: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?ApplicationLinking (mostly about Cocoa apps).
Run it in debugging mode, and check file permissions.
It works with -x but not with -X or -xx. Thanks, Walter
