I've just done this myself, and had no problems whatsoever. I upgraded
from 3.22 to 3.23...
1. Compile mysql 3.23
2. Shutdown mysql 3.22 server
3. (Carefully) do a make install of 3.23, ensuring your data files in
~mysql/var are not over-written
4. Restart mysql server (3.23)
5. Go through each table in your database/s doing an 'alter table
tablename type = myisam'
Worked fine for me; I'm using Mandrake 7.2.
