Hello, i'm new on unix like sytem and on mysql, and i try to install mysql 3.23.33 on MACos x server. I downloaded the archive, decompressed it into serverOSX/usr/local/ with the commend tar -zxvf mysql-3.23.33-apple-rhapsody5.5-powerpc .tar.gz i got a folder named "mysql-3.23.33-apple-rhapsody5.5-powerpc",i created a link to this folder with ln -s mysql-3.23.33-apple-rhapsody5.5-powerpc mysql, i added a group mysql, added a user mysql at this group (using the network manager, not the shell), but when i wanted to run the mysql_install_db script, it wrote in a shell window named 'Dead Terminal': my_print_defaults: not found Didn't find ./bin/mysqld You should do a 'make install' before executing this script [Process exited - exit code 1] can someone help me? thank you, charlie EISSEN
