Hi, using the binary distribution mysql-4.0.0-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686, installed in the standard location /usr/local, running on Debian GNU Linux, I noticed the following buglets:
INSTALL-BINARY and manual.txt both refer to bin/safe_mysqld which doesn't exist; they mean bin/mysqld_safe. --- Symptom: After following all instructions in INSTALL-BINARY and running bin/mysqld_safe in /usr/local/mysql, the server dies immediately. The error log file shows the message /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Fatal error: Can't find messagefile 'mysql-4.0.0-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' This file is in /usr/local/mysql-4.0.0-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686/share/mysql/english, but apparently the server doesn't look there. Symlink from /usr/local/mysql to /usr/local/mysql-4.0.0-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686 is in place. Work around: start mysqld from /usr/local/mysql as bin/mysqld_safe --language=/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english --- Symptom: When starting mysql-test-run, the alias test reports "fail", the script complains that "time was not found", then stops. Reason: the mysql-test-run script uses the "time" command as $TIME (line 956); this doesn't work in my bash (2.04) since "time" is a shell builtin. Replacing $TIME by time will fix it and all tests pass. --- The benchmark tests work only with perl and DBI.pm installed; that should be documented somewhere.
