I downloaded the file mysql-3.23.38-sun-solaris2.7-sparc.tar.gz last
Friday. I followed the installation instructions, except that mysql is
installed in /export/mysql since I don't control /usr/local.
The file mysqlbug doesn't exist anywhere in my distribution. The
scripts subdirectory only has mysql_install_db.
The command mysql_install_db gave me messages that it couldn't find my
hostname (organa), so I needed to use ip address instead of hostname to
set permissions. It also said it couldn't create the grant tables.
Later, the command safe_mysqld --user=mysql & gives an syntax error
message for bin/my_print_defaults, and mysql promptly quits.
Detailed messages follow.
Thanks in advance.

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 !
