Hi!

Please read the MySQL manual about how to install MySQL on Linux!

You must install LinuxThreads first !

The above is not true:  I rebuild MySQL daily :) and my system is:

(/my/monty/sql-3.22) uname -a
Linux monty.pp.sci.fi 2.2.3 #21 SMP Fri Mar 19 16:08:56 EET 1999 i686 unknown

Fix:

Install Linuxthreads and try again!
