Mysql Support Rated !
I had to post this short note of Thank You to Monty Widenius.. I had struggled for over 6 months and several versions of MySQL trying to get the source to compile without errors on Caldera 2.3 or 2.4. I continued to fail. I upgraded Libc libraries and gcc makes but still failed. Yeah, I got a compile and the Mysql engines ran but the make test errors haunted me.. After a number of postings on the list, Monty finally took pity on me. A number of emails and suggested fixes, still no cure. Monty then offered to telnet to the offending machine. A couple phome calls later, Sweden to New York the telnet was set up. Monty worked on my hard drive and compiled a few version with various make switches. In the end a source fix in the ha_myisammrg.cc and all compiled and passes all tests. I am more than happy! Monty, THank You! The support at MySQL AB is great! The support is worth the price of admission.

Re: Compiled v. 3.23.40 and 3.23.42 to12 test Failures
Thank You.. Monty Yeah! I can write shell scripts and depending on style usually interpet those written by others.. So, I will set about changing the script and email you my results.. Thank You for taking the time to look at my problem. Bob T Michael Widenius wrote: Hi!

The question now is why mysql_install_db doesn't work. To be able to help you with this over email is however not trivial. The error you got was: R I changed the dir name to /usr/local/mysql. R I ran /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db R and got this error every time.. R faults: command not found R Didn't find ./bin/mysqld Please examine the mysql_install_script to find out what is wrong! If you don't know how shell scripts works, please ask someone that you know that can help you with this. To fix this should be just a couple of minutes of work! In general, the following should always work: cd /usr/local/mysql ./scripts/mysql_install_db Based on your emails, I can't however say why this doesn't work for you. You could try with: cd /usr/local/mysql ./scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr/local/mysql If this doesn't work either, then you need to take a close look at the mysql_install_db script to find out what is wrong with your setup.

Problem with MySQL 3.23.40 Install..Source Compiled
Can someone help me?? I have been trying out MySQL beginning in June of 2001. I use Caldera Linux and have a 4 machine LAN. The Lan includes 3 Linux and 1 WinNT install. I compiled the Source and installed version: 3.22.32-log on all machines. This runs fine but I was needing the newer features of version 3.23.40. So, I downloaded and installed to the first Linux machine. Now, no matter what I do safe_Mysqld continues to start version: 3.22.32-log .. Here are the steps I took to compile and install ver 3.23.40. to the same directory as ver. 3.22.32 which I hoped would be overwritten. I installed both versions to /usr/share/mysql.. cd /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES/ tar zxvf mysql-3.23.40.tar.gz cd /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES/mysql-3.23.40 ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mysql make make install ( I did not run scripts as I had a previous installation, Right??) I noticed 3.23.40 installed mysqld to a libexec directory, not bin.. Also 3.23.40 did not make a mysql/var directory, by but continued to use /var/lib/mysql for data and pid.. In an effort to get 3.23.40 to load at boot I changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql and /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql_server and it's link /etc/rc5.d/S35mysql.. Like So basedir=/usr/share/mysql/libexec bindir=/usr/share/mysql/bin pid_file=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid Still comes up 3.22.32. I've obviously missed Something. Also I expected the prefix= switch in the ./configure to overwrite version 3.22.32..Instead it created a sub/sub directory like SO.. /usr/share/mysql/share/mysql Whats That I have a lot of house cleaning to do... Please IF someone can shed some light on all or some of this mess..

Perl DBI DBD Show Table Modules Best Dir Install Choices!
Now that I have the correct Install procedure for the Perl DBI and MySQL DBD, Where is the most common and preferred Location for the Install?? I was considering the following. /usr/local/ /usr/local/share/ /usr/share/mysql /usr/share/perl5/ Sometimes a script or program will expect to see these modules in a particular Dir.. I am just thinking ahead to make my progamming a bit easier I had made changes and reinstalled java JDK for just such a reason. Please replly with suggestions and personal setup prefrences. If you would include your reasoning that would alson be appeciatied..

New install Problem
Paul I am a newbie regarding MySQL but have been using Postgresql, DB2 and for years Sybase.. My installations are Linux (Caldera 2.3 2.4), OS/2 and WinNt. My needs are a lan / Wan database..encompassing above OS's. Problems: DB2 in Lan format too expensive Postgresql w/ JDBC will not compile on Caldera edesktop. Sybase 11 not available for OS/2.. Mysql compiled nicely on Caldera and msql2-3.22.26a installed easily on OS/2. 1/ But on OS/2 I get this error version 3.22.26a mysql mysqladmin -u ME password 'topsecret' process terminated by SIGSEGV C:\ (this happens on 2 OS/2 machines) but not on Linux.. 2/ Also is there a JDBC for OS\2 or ODBC either which I can use for MySQL with OS/2.. If not what do you suggest for application/bridge development language on OS/2..
