I wish there was a way to speed this up.

Ok, then it must be something that is only on my system.

I did the install over a 4.0 install. I guess there still could be a 
problem, but I did everything I could to ensure that the install is 
right.

This may be the problem. I installed readline-6.2 and I am trying to build 
mysql51-client again. I am hoping this will fix it.

I do have HIST_ENTRY in /usr/include/readline/readline.h.

Although, I wish I could do a diff of your readline.h and mine.

I have 128MB physical and 2 768MB swap partitions for a total of 1536MB of 
swap. It is a 2000 with a bizzard 2060. There was a time when this sytem 
used to run from 500 to 700 MB of swap all the time and transfer 30-35 GB 
in files every day. I wish that I could bring those days back again.

Thank you!!!

I have it downloaded.

Yes, I do. Perl takes an extremely long time to build.

Thank you for all your help!
