+# Building check\_mysql fails on Solaris
+
+If you are using GCC and your MySQL version was compiled using Sun's C
+compiler (or the other way round), then it is likely that the configure
+options will fail, as the configure script will run `mysql_config` to get the
+appropriate `CFLAGS`.
+
+There are various options:
+
+* Disable `check_mysql` by running `./configure` `--without-mysql`.
+* Allow `./configure` to finish, but manually amend `plugins/Makefile` and
+  remove any non-GCC flags in `MYSQLCFLAGS`.
+* Use Sun's C compiler to compile the plugins.
+* Use a GCC-compiled version of MySQL.
