Compile error with version 1.0.4-8

When compiling, I got the following issue:

I have the same problem on 64bit host running ubuntu karmic. I'm copiling mysql 5.1.40 and xtradb branch release-9 :

at handler/i_s.cc:799

- if((p = strchr(index->table_name, '/')))
+ if((p = strchr((char *) index->table_name, '/')))

[StasN (stas-global)]

More correct way...

[Aleksandr Kuzminsky (akuzminsky)]

Confirm the same error on Ubuntu Karmic 5.1.41+release-9

[Aleksandr Kuzminsky (akuzminsky)]

Fixed in Release-10
