Dear Sir, I did all the steps to compile the code i.e.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-named-curses-libs=/lib/libncurses.so.5.2 make make install scripts/mysql_install_db and then I tried mysqld --user=root then it gave the following error message. Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set. If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line skip-innodb to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add for example, innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:30M But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html 020528 16:39:02 mysqld: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist Please help me resolve it. I don't know where to make changes and which directory to create.If I have not done anything please inform me. Note: I tried to compile it 5-7 times so I did the following steps before compiling each time rm config.cache make clean Waiting for an eager response. -- Karan Singal 2nd year student CSE , IIT Guwahati Guwahati --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
