Hi, I am trying to install MySQL 3.23.37 from the RPM distribution.. At the point where the rpm installs the default tables it hangs: [root@teaparty src]# rpm -i MySQL-3.23.37-1.i386.rpm Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables **HANGS indefinately** The process list shows: 3678 pts/0 T 0:00 sh /usr/bin/mysql_install_db -IN-RPM 3683 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables --ba 3684 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables --ba 3685 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables --ba top shows the processes idle, and there is plenty of RAM free.. I'm running RedHat 6.0 Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks, Chris.
