Hi I am a newbie to linux and mysql and would like some advice re installing mysql source code on corel linux. I have successfully installed a binary version of Mysql (now deleted) but need to compile and install a source version, as I want to next install PHP.which I understand needs the source code distribuion of Mysql. The mysql version is 3-23-38 I have followed the instructions from the Mysql documentation as follows- shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf - shell> cd mysql-VERSION shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql shell> make shell> make install shell> scripts/mysql_install_db shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --ser=mysql & Everything is OK up to and including line 5, the config command. The make command results in an error message which is because the makefile file does not exist. I have installed autoconf and automake and rerun the config file OK which recognises autoconf and automake I then run automake ( instead of the make command) and processing takes place for a few seconds without any messages. However no mysql/bin folders or files have been created that I would expect from the compile/install process. Can anyone tell me what I have missed pls.
