AIX 4.3.3 I have downloaded the mysql-3.23.37-ibm-aix4.3.3.0-rs6000.tar.gz binary, unpacked it with the following command % gzip -dc mysql-3.23.37-ibm-aix4.3.3.0-rs6000.tar.gz | tar -xvf - I skipped groupdadd and useradd because I am not a system administrator of my machine. I created a link of mysql % ln -s mysql-3.23.37-ibm-aix4.3.3.0-rs6000 mysql Then run the following command % scripts/mysql_install_db *************************************Error ******************************************************* exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/my_print_defaults because of the following errors: 0509-150 Dependent module libz.a(shr.o) could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libz.a(shr.o). 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. WARNING: The host 'bdvdc14i' could not be looked up with resolveip. 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 ! Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/mysqld because of the following errors: 0509-150 Dependent module libz.a(shr.o) could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libz.a(shr.o). 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. Installation of grant tables failed! Examine the logs in ./data for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon 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.
