I just downloaded mysql-6.0.3-alpha-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz for my AMD64 machine to play with it. I started out with Giuseppe's mysql-sandbox script to try to set up a throwaway. This has always worked great for me before, but the server wouldn't start this time. I looked in the error log:
080203 09:35:55 mysqld_safe The file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld does not exist or is not executable. Please 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 starting mysqld_safe manually, and got the same thing. It looks like it's not detecting the directories right. So I looked at the bin/mysqld_safe script and saw this: 205 MY_PWD=`pwd` 206 # Check for the directories we would expect from a binary release install 207 if test -f ./share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys -a -x ./bin/mysqld 208 then 209 MY_BASEDIR_VERSION=$MY_PWD # Where bin, share and data are 210 ledir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION/bin # Where mysqld is 211 # Check for the directories we would expect from a source install 212 elif test -f ./share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys -a -x ./libexec/mysqld 213 then 214 MY_BASEDIR_VERSION=$MY_PWD # Where libexec, share and var are 215 ledir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION/libexec # Where mysqld is 216 # Since we didn't find anything, used the compiled-in defaults 217 else 218 MY_BASEDIR_VERSION=/usr/local/mysql 219 ledir=/usr/local/mysql/bin 220 fi The problem I see is, there's no share/mysql/english/ directory after untarring the downloaded file: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mysql_source/6.0.3$ find -name english ./share/english Looks to me like the package has a broken mysqld_safe script.
