It would be helful if you could tell us what OS you are using please? Your email address suggests you could be running some flavour of Linux?
If so, can you tell us what package management system your OS uses? I run SuSE Linux 9.2 pro, which uses the Redhat Package Management system - RPM. Does shell:/ # rpm -qv mysql return anything at all on your system? If your system uses RPM, you should get something like this for the installed packages. karsites:/ # rpm -qv mysql mysql-3.23.x.rpm karsites:/ # Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.
