No, that didn't work. After: /configure --prefix=/opt/mysql-3.23.44 --localstatedir=/opt/mysql-3.23.44/var make make install I get: crypt.org% /opt/mysql-3.23.44/bin/my_print_defaults mysqld mysql_install_db --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock crypt.org% .. so now I don't know.
