Operating systems supported by *BDB*
------------------------------------

If you after having built MySQL with support for BDB tables get the
following error in the log file when you start `mysqld':

     bdb: architecture lacks fast mutexes: applications cannot be threaded
     Can't init dtabases

This means that `BDB' tables are not supported for your architecture.
In this case you have to rebuild MySQL without BDB table support.

NOTE: The following list is not complete; We will update this as we get
more information about this.

Currently we know that BDB tables works with the following operating
system.

   * Linux 2.x intel

   * Solaris sparc

   * SCO OpenServer

   * SCO UnixWare 7.0.1

It doesn't work with the following operating systems:

   * Linux 2.x Alpha

   * Max OS X
