Pentium 4 option is driving me NUTS!

[Father]

2 bloody days Now I am trying to ugprade to MySQL 4 and every time I do my rpmbuild it bogs out with this error

cc1plus: error: invalid option `tune=pentium4'
make[2]: *** [my_new.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mysql-4.1.8/mysys'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mysql-4.1.8'

Found a makefile in both those dirs out of which I commented the '-mtune=pentium4' option but the makefile gets rewritten every time I run rpmbuild -ba mysql4.1.spec

This is really driving me crazy as I cant' seem to get rid of that darn thing, do you need a Pentium 4 nowadays to run MySQL

why cant u just download binaries instead of compiling from scrath?

then again, i couldnt even get them to work on FC3

You might want to try using the --target i686 option with rpmbuild and see what that does for you.

MySQL should run fine on anything that can run Fedora.

Well I was following this:

But I gave up and then found this guide instead and it seems to work OK!! (fingers crossed)

I did have to upgrade to PHP 5 though as after the MySQL upgrade the link with 4 was broken.
There was probably a way to get 4 working again but I'm happy with 5, assuming that it will run my 4.x code fine.
