Hello,

We are trying to build from source MySQL standard ver. 4.2.1 on an Intel-based 
machine running LINUX FEDORA Core 5 without success Using a binary 
distribution. No RPMs

Hardware being used: Optiplex GX620 Dell system. Pentium D-based processor and 
1 GB of memory.   Kernel 2.6.15-1.2045_FC5
The compiler being used is gcc version 4.1.0 20060304 
Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.1.6 is up and running on the system.
This is a brand new Linux install without any previous installations of MySQL

I proceeded to download and install unzip mysql-standard into the usr/local/ 
folder ... 
The filename is mysql-standard-4.2.1-pc-linux-gnu-i686 –glibc23.tar.gz.

The step where it fails is basically the compilation process.


Steps to reproduce:

shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> gunzip < mysql-standard-4.2.1-pc-linux-gnu-i686 –glibc23.tar.gz | tar 
-xvf -
shell> cd mysql-standard-4.2.1-pc-linux-gnu-i686 –glibc23
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

At this point I get the following message

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql-standard-4.1.21-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23]# ./configure 
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql 
NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't 
need to configure it! 
 
To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases 
and start the MySQL server for you.  If you run into any trouble, please 
consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory. 
 
Installing all prepared tables 
Fill help tables 
 
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server 
to the right place for your system 
 
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! 
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: 
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' 
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost.localdomain password 'new-password' 
See the manual for more instructions. 
 
You can start the MySQL daemon with: 
cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe & 
 
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: 
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests 
 
Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

Starting the mysqld server.  You can test that it is up and running 
with the command: 
./bin/mysqladmin version

I looked at the section Dealing with Problens Compiling MySQL available here
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/compilation-problems.html
But I wihtout success. I did however, clear the cache by doing:

hell> rm config.cache
shell> make clean

Re-tried again and still no go.

shell> make   *causes to generate the following error:

shell> make install  * displays the following

shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &   *gives me the 
following message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./mysqld_safe: line 183: my_print_defaults: command not 
found 
./mysqld_safe: line 188: my_print_defaults: command not found 
The file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable 
Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart 
this script from there as follows: 
./bin/mysqld_safe. 
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqld_safe.html for more 
information

I tried MySQL 5.0 with the exact same result.

Anybody has any suggestions?
All we are trying to do is to install apache + php + mysql. Being mysql the 
last one we need to get working.

Thanks.
