>Description:
When trying to run the ./configure script on the Cobalt Raq it give the
following error:
configure: error: No size for char type.
A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any
static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have
libm.a
in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place.  If this is the problem,
install the static libraries and try again.  If this isn't the problem,
examine config.log for possible errors.  If you want to report this, use
'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a Cobalt Raq and try an install.  It fails each and evey time.
