When I try and install mysql on an RS6000 Aix 4.3.2 I get the following errors ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/my_print_defaults because of the foll owing errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for my_print_defaults because: 0509-136 Symbol stpcpy (number 45) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-136 Symbol strnlen (number 46) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. WARNING: The host 'grommit' could not be looked up with resolveip. 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 ! Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/mysqld because of the following error s: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for mysqld because: 0509-136 Symbol stpcpy (number 137) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-136 Symbol strnlen (number 138) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. Installation of grant tables failed! Examine the logs in ./data for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: ./bin/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool ./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in ./data that may be helpful. The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source is the MySQL email archive. Please check all of the above before mailing us! And if you do mail us, you MUST use the ./bin/mysqlbug script! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Any advice on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
