There is no such thing as a stupid question. only stupid answers *that being my reply to all the other current issues floating around the MySQL list* being your on a redhat i am 100% possitive this is your problem so atleast try it. i myself recieved no replies from this list when i posted the same problem.. i figured it out a couple days later.. then recieved a personal mail from another with the exact same problem and my fix worked for him as well. perhaps its a bug or something.. but do the following go to rpmfind.net BOOKMARK this URL. it will most likely have anything you ever need and it it awesome for listing dependancies(sp?) search for MySQL-Shared NOTE: it can be finiky about caps so always be sure to use MySQL not mysql etc.. look through the list and find one that matches version number.. (dont know how important this is. but would guess dumb to install the wrong version) NOTE2: you do not need to touch MySQL again after running this rpm.. only rerun the PHP ./config script if you are unsure on the process it would be like this. at a command line under root just type rpm -i (paste rpm ftp address here) odds are you'll get a failed dependancy for perl if so run rpm -i --nodeps (paste rpm ftp addy here) NOTE3- leave off the ()'s in the ftp addy the ftp addy should look similar to ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/MySQL/MySQL-3.23/MySQL-shared-3.23.29a-1.i386.rpm Also i recomend a version from MySQL itself and not another developer.. MySQL is a very good and well documented program. Webmaster AngelHaven.com On an ending Note... we're here to learn and help each other. Lets not beat each other up cause someone missed something.
