I'm repeating myself here from my email to you directly last evening, but I'd use the very clear, very accurate manual to build and install from source given at http://www.InternetSecurityGuru.com. Everything in that manual, related especially to MySQL, works just as documented. >And I am not having any luck with these...starting them, installing them, >compiling them. I have read manuals, taken advice, but nothing comprehensive >to get things to work. >I would prefer to install a version of at least 4 for a server. The manual uses 4.0.16 but you could substitute whatever version you'd like. >Any help is appreciated! Help was given. You refused it. >Thanks, >Eve BTW, at a MySQL training course I attended, the instructor advised _NOT_ to go the rpm route. dave
