Hi all, I am completely new to MySQL. I am trying to install MySQL on SUN SPARC Solaris 2.8.
I downloaded mysql-3.23.52-sun-solaris2.8-sparc.tar.gz and did "gunzip" to unzip the file and then did "gtar". When i try to run mysql_install_db, i get the following error : ******************************************* ******************************************* ******************************************* ld.so.1: ./bin/my_print_defaults: fatal: libz.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory WARNING: The host 'Explorer.ERC.MsState.Edu' 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: libz.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory 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 & You can use the command line tool ./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in ./data 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 ./bin/mysqlbug script! ******************************************* ******************************************* ******************************************* Could anyone please help!!!
