[DB-SIG] MySQLdb @Tru64 -> MySQL @Linux

[Cary Collett]

You can feed MySQL's configure --without-server to only compile the
client. This should make things alot easier I'd think.

Also, hop on the MySQL mailing list long enough to send this
message there too. Most replies will get sent to  you as well
as the list so you can hop back off this high traffic list
right away if you don't want to deal with the message volume.
Also, you can monitor the archives.

Unfortunately I don't have much experience compiling stuff on
Tru64 so I can't offer any other advice. 

Good luck!
