You have some 'odd' options in your configuration
line... Have you tried using a 'simple' configuration to see if it will build properly ? ./configure --prefix=/apps/mysql Are you in the "/apps/mysql" directory when you run "mysql_install_db" ?? (you should actually be typing "./bin/mysql_install_db" ) If you're getting the message "Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use, Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306" did you check to see if you DO have it running already ? (type "ps -ef | grep mysql" ) I have attached my 'build' and 'configure' webdocs for MySQL. The directory 'paths' will be different than yours, but the rest should cover what you should be doing... (I've never had a problem building/installing/running MySQL on any RedHat 6.2 system). Look closely at the permission settings I use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aditya Dhekney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Steve Brazill'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <,[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 12:50 PM Subject: RE: mysql installation from source > > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Brazill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 3:38 PM > To: Aditya Dhekney > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: mysql installation from source > > > Could you list (exactly) what commands you are using to 'unpack', > 'configure', 'build', and 'install' the distribution (which package have you > downloaded ?) ?? > > > i'm using mysql-3.23.39.tar.gz > > these are the EXACT commands i used: > > tar -zxvf mysql-3.23.39.tar.gz > > cd mysql-3.23.39 > > CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -f > no-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/apps/mysql --enable-assembler > -- > with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static > > make > > make install > > scripts/mysql_install_db > > chown -R root /apps/mysql/ > > chown -R mysql /apps/mysql/var > > chgrp -R mysql /apps/mysql/ > > /apps/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & > > (this is where i get the first error (mysqld ended) > > in my host.err file, i get this: > 010621 15:11:40 mysqld started > 010621 15:11:40 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in > use > 010621 15:11:40 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: > 3306 > ? > 010621 15:11:40 Aborting > > 010621 15:11:40 /apps/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete > > 010621 15:11:40 mysqld ended > > BUT, when i run ps, mysqld is NOT listed...:( > > I get the "check if tmp/mysql.sock exists" error when i try to use > mysqladmin tool. > > should i be concerned about the message that says to check tmp/mysql.sock? > > Thanks, > Aditya > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Aditya Dhekney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 12:19 PM > Subject: mysql installation from source > > > > Hi, > > I have been trying to install mysql on my server for way too long now! my > > system specs are: intel i686, with linux 6.2 loaded. > > > > I think i once did get the installation to work almost correctly, or at > > least more correctly than it does now... > > > > the problem: when i compile/make etc., i get no errors at all, so...you > may > > think...this is good!
