I did a search of the list before posting. Noticed several others having the same issue, but could not find a resolution in any of the posts.
I seem to be having some clib problems with the current AIX mysql binary (AIX 4.3.3, mysql-standard 4.0.17 (ibm c++ compiled) -- downloaded on 02/11/2004) The install notes for "other unix" are not explicit regarding any requirements. I did need to download gnu.gettext, gnu.tar and gnu.gzip from http://www.bullfreeware.com/ in order to extract the archive (hope that help someone out there!) Below is the std out and error out from running scripts/mysql_install_db: ________________________________________________________ exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/my_print_defaults because of the following errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for my_print_defaults because: 0509-136 Symbol stpcpy (number 50) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-136 Symbol strnlen (number 51) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. WARNING: The host 'curly' could not be looked up with resolveip. This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work. This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames when specifying MySQL privileges ! Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/mysqld because of the following errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for mysqld because: 0509-136 Symbol stpcpy (number 144) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-136 Symbol strnlen (number 145) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. Installation of grant tables failed! Examine the logs in ./data for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: ./bin/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool ./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in ./data that may be helpful. The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source is the MySQL email archive. Please check all of the above before mailing us! And if you do mail us, you MUST use the ./bin/mysqlbug script! <end> _______________________________________________________ note that the /data directory in its 2 databases do seem to have been created. trying to start the deamon results in the following std. out and error: _______________________________________________________ exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./bin/my_print_defaults because of the following errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for my_print_defaults because: 0509-136 Symbol stpcpy (number 50) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-136 Symbol strnlen (number 51) is not exported from dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 040211 15:53:37 mysqld ended <end> _______________________________________________________ seems to be a c library issue. Is there a known fix for this? Are there more libraries I need to install? Sorry about the long post...but I hope completeness helps. thanks for any help!
