Hi, I am trying to setup mysql on AIX 5.3L system with all patches installed (suma update yesterday) I have tried 3 ways and each failed... 1. I have tried the precompiled AIX 64 bit binary. those failed to link with mysql++ (we use 1.7.40) and php (they didn't found libmysqlclient which was there) I assumed this is because i compile 32 bit binary and it cannot link (I think) I am using gcc 4.1.1 to compile php and use php 5.1.4 (I need the latest php for a package). however mysqld started and was running and i was able to log in to the server. 2. Then I tried the 32bit precompiled AIX binaries those crash on runtime. Its worth noticing that during "mysql_install_db" I see ./bin/mysqld: Out of memory (needed XXX bytes) several times. the error it gives me when it crases is "file ./mysql-bin.index not found (error code 13)" 3. Last I tried to compile the sources. Configuring this version and make, make install worked fine. This also worked fine with php install and mysql++ however, however, the server crashed with nothing in the log. thoughts? ciao scipio
