Jörg, thanks again for your help and your patience with this issue. You also caught oversights with strace and clarified that this is not a PATH issue.
I've filed it at: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53667 > You don't state it explicitly, but I take your text to mean > "If the MySQL tools are compiled using --prefix, --basedir, or other > such settings, they should not read system-wide configuration files." > That is a possible request, different from the current MySQL policy. I am not saying MySQL should not read system-wide configuration files. I'm saying that if one defines a --sysconfdir directory, then that directory should be consulted first. The bottom line is that the MySQL behavior is non-standard. A lot of software allow reading their configuration files from anywhere. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
