error when trying to install mysql 4.1.12

[Jason Taylor]

I'm not sure that command line will work.  If I correctly remember what 
I did, this is what worked for me:

% make -DWITH_LINUXTHREADS -DBUILD_OPTIMIZED -DWITH_OPENSSL clean
% make -DWITH_LINUXTHREADS -DBUILD_OPTIMIZED -DWITH_OPENSSL
% make -DWITH_LINUXTHREADS -DBUILD_OPTIMIZED -DWITH_OPENSSL deinstall
% make -DWITH_LINUXTHREADS -DBUILD_OPTIMIZED -DWITH_OPENSSL reinstall
% make -DWITH_LINUXTHREADS -DBUILD_OPTIMIZED -DWITH_OPENSSL clean

I'm also surprised that we seem to be the only two who have had this 
problem.
