Actually, upgrading the kernel is /not/ hard. Simply follow the instructions in the INSTALL file inside the tarball. Many people have a fear of doing this, but if you read the instructions, and know your machine, it's a simple matter.

After downloading the RPMs, I get a signal 4 error on the server install and notice complaints concerning threads. Perusing the mysql manuals seems to suggest that upgrading the kernel to 2.4.n.n would help. This is unfortunately a task which is at least as complicated as reloading the entire OS. There's very little that's not tied up with the Linux kernel in some way. Does anyone know of a less painful way to create an environment using mysql which will allow me to continue with the bit of perl/ CGI programming I set out to do in the first place ? If I go with some more antique version of sql to avoid the problem, do I stand any real chance of success ? I hope you've had a better day than I have. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
