[SOLVED] Install sysbench on debian 64-bit?

[adi003]

Hello
How do I install sysbench on debian 503 64-bit?

when I run
adi003@a003deb:~/sysbench-0.4.12$ ./configure
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh config/config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed

* If you're running on 64bit CPU make sure to compile 64bit binary for good
results.
Ok.... but how?

I can see in the Squeeze package for 4.10 that the build requirements are:

debhelper (>= 7), dpatch, docbook-xsl, xsltproc, autotools-dev, libmysqlclient15-dev | libmysqlclient-dev

The last two are necessary for building from source, the tools listed before that are for various requirement for patching the source, plus bundling it and the documents into deb files.

Would 4.10 be recent enough? It looks like Lenny has the required packages for that to be backportable to Lenny...and building deb files is a much better way to go than the ./configure/make/make install routine. Take a look at the following link:

thanks stevepusser but I am new to the hole linux thing. I don't understand half of the things in that post. Can someone give me a better answer on how can I run sysbench on debian 64 bit?

Well, I can build a 64-bit backport from the Squeeze repository for Debian 5.0.3 Lenny in a minute, far less then it would be to explain everything in that guide....so try this .deb:

Now I should say it's not a good security idea to just accept and install debs from Joe who-the heck-are-you on the Internet. Right now in the Linux world we are sort of in an Age of Innocence, without the invasion of evil hackers; to be really safe, it would be better to build from the source code, as in the post. Right now, you'll have to trust that I'm not Evil...

I trust you know how to install a deb with the dpkg -i command as root?
