There is a bug in the file /usr/include/asm/system.h

on line 247. This causes mysql 4.1.11 to fail to compile.

change new (which appears to be a reserved word) to new1...this has to be done through the function that starts on line 246 (3 changes I think)

PS only do this if you understand the possible consequences of messing with system files.
