Your right - Max is a server, thank you.
Directories you listed do not exist. That rpm is all honked up. Is there an
UN-install flag for rpm? I would like to cleanly reverse what was done w/
the rpm and install from the binary, is this possible? The workaround
provided below does not seem to be tested, before I cause any more damage I
would like to clean the orig install up, if it even did anything... Thanks.

Subject: MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm is missing many files.

>Description:
I'm trying to install MySQL MAX 3.23.52 (MySQL, with
transactions enabled). My rpm attempts goes like this...
1. Check for installed MySQL...
[root@Zeke mysql]# rpm -q -a | fgrep -i mysql
[root@Zeke mysql]#
2. Nothing, so I attempt an install...
[root@Zeke mysql]# rpm -i MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm
Giving mysqld a couple of seconds to restart
var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34280: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory
QUESTIONS
1. Why is the mysql start/stop script missing?
2. In addition, OTHER FILES are missing, as compared to the
tar/gzip binary:
mysql-max-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
Thanks in advance.
/AL
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Download the Intel Linux RPM file: MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm
2. su as root
3. rpm -i MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm
4. See the error
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory
>Fix:
BETTER FIX:
1. Re-build the rpm file for MySQL-Max-3.23.52
2. While you guys are at it, provide the rpm for the other
modules (ask RedHat for help on this, if necessary).
If you want me to do some of the work, I'll volunteer the time.
... Just give me some RH linux box to login to. ... I have
only 1 box at home, which I use to support my consulting
clients, so I can't fool around with the box too much.
WORKAROUND:
1. Install the RPM file, in spite of its problems:
MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm
2. Install tar/gzip file:
mysql-max-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
...This way, other rpm files that depend on MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1
won't have problems (assuming that they are properly installed).
