>Description: I've recently compiled mysql 4.0.14 on redhat 8.0. The installation fails, however, when running mysql_install_db. I've attached a transcript below.
I gather from searching the 'net that this isn't an entirely unusual thing to happen, and is likely the result of some misconfiguration on my part, or perhaps a version incompatability with my libc. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any concrete suggestions on how to get past it. I've studied the installation instructions pretty closely, experimented with various compilation flags. I just keep getting the same results. This should be a pretty vanilla installation. Can someone please point me in the direction of figuring out what I'm doing wrong? >How-To-Repeat: Geez ... how *not* to repeat it :) >Fix: dunno >Submitter-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Originator: Gary >Organization: personal use >MySQL support: email support >Synopsis: 4.0.14 install problems; mysqld crashes >Severity: minor >Priority: low >Category: mysql >Class: sw-bug >Release: mysql-4.0.14 (Source distribution) >C compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) >C++ compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) >Environment: <machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)> System: Linux xeon 2.4.20-19.7 #2 Wed Aug 20 14:21:18 CDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --host=i386-redha t-linux --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-O3 ' CXX='gcc' CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -felide-constructors' LDFLAGS='' ASFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 21 17:58 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.93.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1235468 Sep 5 2002 /lib/libc-2.2.93.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2233342 Sep 5 2002 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Sep 5 2002 /usr/lib/libc.so Configure command: ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/mysql' '--enable-assembler' '--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static' 'CFLAGS=-O3 ' 'CXXFLAGS=-O3 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -felide-constructors' 'CXX=gcc' $ ./mysql_install_db Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables mysqld got signal 11; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=8388600 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=0 max_connections=100 threads_connected=1 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225791 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. thd=0x83cc2d8 Attempting backtrace.

Examine the logs in /usr/local/mysql/var for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql/var that may be helpful.
