[parisc-linux] dpkg-utils, ./configure --host, mysql3.23

[diab]

just tried to apt-get source wget to make a debianized version of it, but
dpkg-utils (which contains dpkg-source) depends on perl5 which is not
installed. this way it is kind of hard to simply make debs using the
usual apt-get source approach.

anyways i found the older ./configure -s (which displays unknown host
type) will just run fine using --host=hppa-pc-linux-gnu or
hppa-hp-linux-gnu.

still no luck compiling mysql 3.23.38 so far :( i tried with different
options, but in /client (which is quite "far" from the beginning, i mean
lotsa compiling succeeds) i just keep getting:

make: *** [mysql] Error 1

any1 has an idea what can i do to make it work? i tried --without-readline
(as it seems this error might be around readline) but no luck with the
built in libreadline*so so far.

the other thing is: it seems that this list is rather
hardware/kernel/low level programming oriented, not dealing w/ 
software issues that much.
if this is the case, which is the best list to discuss sw issues?

regards,
