In the support-files directory there is a file called mysql.server.sh. You need to copy this file to /etc/rc.d/init.d. Then execute chkconfig: cp support-files/mysql.server.sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld chkconfig --add mysqld Now you can use ntsysv to enable starting of mysqld at bootup.

I haven't used redhat in a while, but it will probably be something like mysql-devel-xx.yy-z.i386.rpm. Install this rpm. Then list the files in this package: rpm -ql mysql-devel That should give you a good idea of where the header files are. regards, Izak -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Izak Burger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/ Tel. +27 21 808 4863 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A big enough hammer can usually fix anything. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
