Can someone help me?? I have been trying out MySQL beginning in June of 2001. I use Caldera Linux and have a 4 machine LAN. The Lan includes 3 Linux and 1 WinNT install. I compiled the Source and installed version: 3.22.32-log on all machines. This runs fine but I was needing the newer features of version 3.23.40. So, I downloaded and installed to the first Linux machine. Now, no matter what I do safe_Mysqld continues to start version: 3.22.32-log .. Here are the steps I took to compile and install ver 3.23.40. to the same directory as ver. 3.22.32 which I hoped would be overwritten. I installed both versions to /usr/share/mysql.. cd /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES/ tar zxvf mysql-3.23.40.tar.gz cd /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES/mysql-3.23.40 ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mysql make make install ( I did not run scripts as I had a previous installation, Right??) I noticed 3.23.40 installed mysqld to a libexec directory, not bin.. Also 3.23.40 did not make a mysql/var directory, by but continued to use /var/lib/mysql for data and pid.. In an effort to get 3.23.40 to load at boot I changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql and /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql_server and it's link /etc/rc5.d/S35mysql.. Like So basedir=/usr/share/mysql/libexec bindir=/usr/share/mysql/bin pid_file=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid Still comes up 3.22.32. I've obviously missed Something. Also I expected the prefix= switch in the ./configure to overwrite version 3.22.32..Instead it created a sub/sub directory like SO.. /usr/share/mysql/share/mysql Whats That???? I have a lot of house cleaning to do... Please IF someone can shed some light on all or some of this mess..
