>Description:
There are several problems running the mysql-test-run script from
the installed directory if you are installing from a source
distribution.
e.g., if you do as the manual suggests (4.7.1 Quick Installation
Overview)
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
shell> cd mysql-VERSION
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
and then do the seeminly logical:
shell> cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test
shell> ./mysql-test-run
>FIX:
suggest that script be changed to detect when it has been run in
the install directory and is part
of a source dist.
Note that the permissions on the installed "mysql-test" directory after
"make install" are also problematic
and will have to be changed (script will fail when trying to make
mysql-test/var and sub directories).
>How-To-Repeat:
cd mysql-VERSION
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
su
make install
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
scripts/mysql-install_db
chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
exit (to stop being root)
/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql&
cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test
./mysql-test-run
>Synopsis: mysql-test-run script does not work from install
directory after source dist. build/install
