Hello;
The following is what I get when I do mysql_install_db.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypt.so.2" not found, required
by "my_print_defaults"
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypt.so.2" not found, required

(yes, the same message twice)
I looked in ports for crypt but I do not know what exactly to look for
to satisfy this complaint.
In addition I got the following complaint:
Neither host '' nor 'localhost' could be looked up
with
./bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with
the --force option
This is strange because this is also secondary dns server for the domain.
I looked in ports at what is available for mysql and there are a number of
listings for various versions. For a particular version there appear to be
three separate directories, client, server, and scripts. I am a little
confused
as to what all to build and install. Now that I have gotten a handle on
using
ports, I am doing it that way instead of my initial approach, get the
tarballs
unzip, configure, make and make install (and hope for the best). This
happens
to be one of those, accept it is a prebuilt binary package.
mysql-max-5.0.18-freebsd5.3-i386 (hmmm...5.3?...)
I will try to remove every thing it installed and got to ports if I can
not solve
the immediate problems.
Sounds a good idea. If you have an up-to-date ports tree and then
install /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server, you should get a current
version of MySQL 5.0 (although 5.1 is out now), and you you will also
get the client as a dependency, so you can run your server and talk
to it as well.
As for the problem above, the current libcrypt.so is linked to
libcrypt.so.3, so your tarball is too old for your current
system. Use ports instead ;-)
And, finally, what does `hostname` return on your system?
