I copied the ebuild from bug 62582 to mysql-4.1.6.ebuild and it build and runs without problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cp mysql-4.1.4.ebuild mysql-4.1.6.ebuild 2. add ~amd64 to ebuild 3. emerge mysql Actual Results: Runs fine with latin1 as charset.
Created attachment 42028 [details] mysql-4.1.6.ebuild - Added keyword ~amd64. - Added "use amd64" to the innodb disabling part of the ebuild, because the server always stopped with: 041017 13:46:17 [ERROR] bdb: architecture lacks fast mutexes: applications cannot be threaded 041017 13:46:17 [ERROR] Can't init databases 041017 13:46:17 [ERROR] Aborting mysql.com says that BDB is not working for amd64: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/BDB_portability.html - Changed default charset to utf8. Afterwards all the new charsets are available. If latin1 is used in the ebuild unicode support is not available afterwards.
MySQL 4.1.7 is out now, and is non-gamma (ie stable).
