hi, my system is OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha, I tried to install mysql-3.23.30-gamma-dec-osf5.1-alphaev6. I think this is binary distribution. the path in bin/mysqlaccess has been changed to reflect my installation path. when I run scripts/mysql_install_db it showed following error message, please indicate how to fix this?

This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL deamon, mysqld, should work normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work. This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames when specifying MySQL privileges !

Examine the logs in ./data for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld demon with: ./bin/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool ./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in ./data that may be helpful.
