Hi, I have exactly the same problem as a previous list user (David Kuo Fri, 6 Jul 2001 15:28:35) except I am using 3.23.40 .... Sorry for re-posting but I never saw any replies to his original so here it is again ... I am trying to install mySQL mysql-3.23.39-sun-solaris2.7-sparc on my solaris(sparc)2.6 box [actually SunOS 5.6 sun4u sparc SUNW, Ultra-1]. > scripts/mysql_install_db ld.so.1: ./bin/my_print_defaults: fatal: libcrypt_i.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory WARNING: The host <snip> 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 ld.so.1: ./bin/mysqld: fatal: libpthread.so.1: version `SUNW_1.2' not found required by file ./bin/mysqld) Killed 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 etc ... I have checked the environment variables contain a path to /usr/lib/ and that libpthread.so.1 exists however, there is libcrypt_i.a but NOT libcrypt_i.so.1 ... could this be it? I'm not a unix guru! David - did you get anywhere with this? Many thanks Mike Environmental Change Research Centre / ENSIS Ltd 26 Bedford Way, London. WC1H 0AP.
