Hi!
We have seen this problem (although I have not personally
investigated) with many RH7+default_mysql. The quick and easy solution
(until I figure out further) is to download the MySQL RPMs from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html
Uninstall the standard RedHat 7.0 MySQL RPMs, then reinstall
ours. Like I said, I'm not sure what RedHat is doing wrong with their
MySQL RPMs... But I have seen this numerous times with regard to their
supplied RPMs. Something is amiss.
I will investigate more.
Regards,
Matt
