Though I wouldn't be 'happy' using the environment setup you have, the real
issue that's causing your problem(s) is the fact that you downloaded and
installed the package (note the word "sparc" which means that this package
is for Sun SPARC based computers):
mysql-3.23.38-sun-solaris2.7-sparc.tar.gz
And your system reports that it's running (note the "i386" which means
"Intel based"):
Solaris2.7 /i386
This is probably why the installation reported that "libc libraries are not
100 % compatible with this binary MySQL version"
You should download the standard 'source' distribution
"mysql-3.23.38.tar.gz" and 'build' it for your system (hopefully, there's a
compiler available for you on that system).
