I tried to install binary mysql 4.0.20 on MacOS 1.2.8 Jaguar

The installer works but if I try to use the result I get messages including:

defaults undefined reference to _stpcpy expected to be defined in 
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

 it may be that 4.0.20 has similar problems (not for 10.2.8?)

Thus I removed 4.0.20 and tried 4.1.3beta (earlier I hesitated to install a beta)
This worked.

MySQL server is run via a mysql user who was created by NetInfo manager according to
http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html


I am able to access the MySQL server on the terminal/command-line with full root 
privileges (Actually also as a second user with the same privileges).

If I try to connect with CocoaMySQL it does not allow me to enter as root after I 
added a password to root (both on localhost and my numeric internet address.

>Unable to connect to host localhost.

As long as root had no password I was able to enter with all privileges).
Neither localhost nor my actual Internet number works.

I may still enter as mysql (no or empty password) with minimal privileges. Even 
accessing localhost without username works thus.

Probably I am missing some basic setting? What is the correct way to set up a user/pw 
for beeing acceptable for CocoaMySQL. Have I to change soccks,portal...? I do not 
assume this is a beta problem.

Suggestions welcome
