Hi, I have compiled 4.0.3-beta onto SuSE Linux 7.0. The configure, make and make install go fine, but then when I try to run the mysql_install_db script I get a failure.
Here's the error: backup:/usr/local/mysql-4.0.3-beta # ./scripts/mysql_install_db Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables 020906 13:20:20 Can't read from messagefile '/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' 020906 13:20:20 Aborting Installation of grant tables failed! Examine the logs in /usr/local/mysql/var for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql/var that may be helpful. The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source is the MySQL email archive. Please check all of the above before mailing us! And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlbug script! It complains that it can't read the messagfile errmsg.sys, but I know it's there! Here it is: backup:/usr/local/mysql-4.0.3-beta # l /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys -rw-r--r-- 1 root mysql 12183 Sep 2 17:34 /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys Is anyone else getting this? Any ideas how to get round it? Thanks! Tony Butcher
