hi all, recently I try to install MySQL 3.22.21., before running anything I got to the manual for installation issue, notice that its adviced to have at least glibc2.0.7-19 on a linux system beforehand, did that and install the MySQL RPM pakages, MySQL-3.22.21-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.22.21-1.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-3.22.21-1.i386.rpm by using command 'rpm -Uvh pakagename.rpm' under bash and the glibc lib installed is, glibc-2.0.7-19.i386.rpm by using command 'rpm -Uvh pakagename.rpm' under bash both installation ran well without any noise, I can even run a several mysql command without any crashing. but after the installation, glint(RPM pakage manager) under X wouldnt work no more! so I 'top' it and found out three mysqld was running, 'ps' without the proper pid, i got the listing below: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 251 ? S 0:00 sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/my 286 ? S N 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --ski 287 ? S N 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --ski is it normal that have both "mysqld" and "safe_mysqld" running at the same time? and i also found that after installed MySQL, everytime I try to run glint it will turn out became a zombie, what happen? any thoughts? FYI I'm using rh5.0. PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 415 1 Z 0:00 (glint <zombie>) thanks in advance!! mok [EMAIL PROTECTED]
