Hi,
The comments provided by Tomas are very useful but the big question is
if the present state of the source for MySQL 4.1.X supports the cluster
functionality on Sun SPARC Solaris 8.
Progress so far in my case:
1. Downloaded MySQL 4.1.x with BitKeeper - according to
include/mysql_version.h I got MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION
"4.1.3-beta"
2. Installed some GNU libraries and tools that are required for the
build according to the list in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#cluster
Introduction
<http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Manual/mysql-cluster-intro.pdf/from/
pick> to MySQL Cluster for MySQL Users
3. Modified BUILD/compile-solaris-sparc and added --with-ndbcluster to
the configure command
4. Compiled using gcc 2.95.3. Several trivial updates to different
source files were required to get the build completed
5. Installed in /usr/local/mysql
6. Tried in the mysql/mysql-test: ./mysql-test-run --with-ndbcluster.
Again several trivial fixes were needed to get the scripts working. The
provided scripts setup the nodes as Little endian which indicates that
they were only tested on Linux Intel. SPARC is Big endian.
7. Ndb manager starts but ndbd dumps core with BusError. I think I give
up for the moment :-(

Piotr
