Also, I did a clean install using RPMs on a Redhat 9.0 machine. A straight install (rpm -Uvh) failed on a bunch of dependencies -- including the fact that apparently MySQL 3.2.? was installed with Redhat. I did an rpm -e on the existing installation, tried again on the new distributions and got failed dependencies for libcrypto 0.9.6 and libssl (don't remember the version number). The Redhat 9 installation has libcrypto 0.9.7a, so I'm not sure why the dependency check fails. I whent ahead with a --nodeps install and the basic server seems to run alright. However, when I then tried to install -Max, the service wouldn't start. I haven't pursued that problem -- simply went back to the basic server install. Actually, I had to do a complete reinstall of the server to get it to work. One question: do I need Max to get the transaction type capabilities for committing, roll back, etc? The documentation seems to imply yes in some places and no in others. Is the InnoDB in MySQL-server, enough to get these capabilities?
InnoDB is standard in MySQL precompiled distributions (including RPMs) as of MySQL 4. Before MySQL, you needed to install MySQL-Max to get InnoDB support.
Note that you still need MySQL-Max if you want BDB support.
