Hello all,

I tried to contact the msql/mysql users but did not succeed, so let me 
know the answer if u have worked with those databases.

I have decided to interface the mSQL or mySQL database with the Apache 
Web
server in my Linux ( Red Hat 5.2 Version) system. I downloaded both the
databases from the Internet. 

Then  i did the following to install the mSQL database in my system and
the following problem occurred. 

1) I downloaded the file named msql-2_0_11_tar.tar from the site  
www.hughes.com.au. It is the latest version there. I placed the file in
/usr/local/src/mSQL directory. 

2) I extracted the tar file using the command    
gunzip -c tarfile | tar xvf - 

It extracted the directories INSTALL, BUGS and demos and finally  
displaced the message   
tar: skipping to next file header 

3) When i tried the command  
make target 
as written in the installtion manual file, it dispalyed 
Make ** No rule to make target 'target' stop 

After this i did not proceed since it did not happen as explained the
installtion procedure .  

After then i tried the mySQL database and again the following happened. 

1) placed the tarfile(mysql-3_22_32_tar.tar) in the /usr/local/src/mySQL
directory 

2) tried to extract the files using gunzip command as above. It said
invalid compressed data--crc error. Also the above mentioned error   the
Skipping to next file header again appeared. But many directories 
 were installed here too. 

3)there was a configure file and when i tried to run configure using
command ./configure  it displayed the error  Error:can not find sources in
. or ..  

I also followed all the instructions in the downloaded file and even in
the  book (mSQL/mySQL, O Really Publication), It did not work. 

I am now really disappoiting using installing those databases. I want to
know about the problem and the solution very soon. I can not work until
the 
 database is properly installed into the system. 

Hope that u will help me. 
Looking forward for ur quick and clear response.
