Perl was installed from my RedHat 6.2 install media, I remember a problem 
of installing MySQL using the binaries would cause conflicts with a rpm 
installed Perl. That is what someone in this newsgroup told me about a year 
ago. Is this true?

I couldn't get the MySQL to install with the RPM's. Is it safe to install 
using the binary version of MySQL, will I encounter any problems using Perl 
to access the database with the Perl(rpm) & MySQL(binary) versions? Will I 
need to re-install Perl

Thanks

Chris

Date Sent: 10/2/02
RedHat6.2 install (everything) out of box on Intel 1 proc server 256mb ram.
Downloaded 3.23.52-1 rpm & client rpm to /usr/loca/tmp - i created the tmp 
folder as root and chmod 777
Followed the install instructions - which only included:
To perform a standard minimal installation, run:
shell> rpm -i MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm

(No user or group or environment setup instructions before running rpm's???)

So logged in as root I executed the following, and got the result below

[root@plinux tmp]# rpm -i MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm 
MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm
Giving mysqld a couple of seconds to restart
var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10346: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory

Was this successful? Where did mysql install to?

The post installation steps say to:

shell> ./scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> cd mysql_installation_directory
shell> ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

cd_mysql_installation_directory - where the heck did it install at? don't 
think this happened...

thanks in advance.
