being able to create the shared library @file{libmysqlclient.so.#} (@samp{#}

is a version number), you can work around this problem by giving the

@code{--disable-shared} option to @code{configure}.  In this case,

@code{configure} will not build a shared @code{libmysqlclient.so.#} library.

If you use @code{--skip-bdb}, MySQL will not initialise the

Berkeley DB library and this will save a lot of memory. Of course,

you cannot use @code{BDB} tables if you are using this option.  If you try
