mysql compile errors on MDK ssytem

I have been trying to compile mysql-3.23.58 with the following commands
./configure --prefix=/httpd/apache/mysql --localstatedir=/httpd/apache/mysql/data --disable-maintainer-mode --with-mysqld-user=mysql --enable-large-files -without-debug

and I get the following errors
gcc -DDEFAULT_CHARSET_HOME=\"/httpd/apache/mysql\" -DDATADIR=\"/httpd/apache/mysql/data\" -DSHAREDIR=\"/httpd/apache/mysql/share/mysql\" -DUNDEF_THREADS_HACK -DDONT_USE_RAID -I. -I. -I.. -I./../include -I../include -I./.. -I.. -I.. -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -c libmysql.c -MT libmysql.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libmysql.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libmysql.lo

if you need any more info its being compiled on a Mandrake 9.2 system...
any help would be appreciated

try finding an rpm what version of mandrake? server? desktop?

Using Mandrake 9.2 with a desktop install...
I found the rpm but it would not allow me to install it...?o_0

how about you actually tell us *why* it won't let you install it.

well when I tried to install the MySQL-4.0.x I got this

Code:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

MySQL-4.0.15-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied MySQL-common[*][== 4.0.15-1mdk])

do you agree ?

so I downloaded the MySQL-common rpm and got this

Code:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

MySQL-common-4.0.15-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied MySQL-client)

do you agree ?

any ideas?
-=edit=-
if I install the rpm would I be able to change the data storage dir to a diff dir like in my compile options?

you'll have to solve those dependencies but once you do that you'll be able to install it... you should be able to install mySQL off the mandrake disk and then use urpmi or "mandrakeupdate"(which uses urpmi i think) to update them...

ok thanks for the help :)
