Hi, I'm having some trouble getting MySQL to install properly on my NetBSD/macppc 1.5 system from source package. Here's the MySQL version information: % /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld -V ./mysqld Ver 3.22.32 for -netbsd on powerpc And below is the error that occurred when installing the package. I haven't been able to find this in the mailing list archives, and I haven't had any luck on the NetBSD lists. Any clues? Thanks. Phil Brodd --- snip --- install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555 -s mysqld /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld Making install in tests `safe_mysqld' is up to date. `mysql_install_db' is up to date. /usr/pkg/bin/mysql_install_db --force Creating db table Creating host table Creating user table Creating func table Creating tables_priv table Creating columns_priv table /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld: Fatal error: Can't read from messagefile '/usr/pkg/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' Installation of grant tables failed! Examine the logs in /var/mysql for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld demon with: /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/pkg/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/pkg/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /var/mysql that may be helpful. The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
