What is this? I've just seen the exact same problem posted on another
list (uug-discuss@stripped), but from a different person, also from
BYU, though. Are you guys taking a database class and you instructor is
making you write mysql programs on an HP, or what? :-)
Here is the problem:
when you use the password, mysql client uses a function from the math
library ( floor). The dynamic linker tries to resolve it at run-time and
fails. Try either linking with -lm or linking statically. Josh ( this
other guy who posted the problem) says that HP cc bombs when you give it
-static, so you would have to read the manuals to see how you tell it to
link statically, or maybe someone knows right off the bat what the flag
should be.
