[vchkpw] What if mysql was preinstalled?

[Don Walters]

I am trying to install vpopmail, and I have a small problem.  I started 
installing vpopmail according to Michael Bowes mysql/vpopmail guide found 
here...

http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/vpopmail-mysql.htm

When I got to the part about installing mysql, I realized that mysql was 
already installed when I loaded Redhat 9.  I decided that rather than try to 
remove it, I would try to use the installation I already had and just 
configure it accordingly.  Well, I managed to work thru that and everything 
seemed OK until I got to the part where you do a ./configure and there are a 
bunch of parameters you pass to it like --enable-domain-quotas=n \.  I guess 
there were about 10 of these.

Well, the installation didn't go much farther.  I got a whole bunch of 
errors when I did a make afterwards because the paths for the incdir and the 
libdir are not where they should be.

I'm sure if I went thru the installation exactly as Michael Bowes specified, 
those directories would be exactly where they should be.  However, I don't 
even have a directory for /usr/local/mysql/, much less the lib or include 
directories.

So my question is:  Where can I find the needed files, or will this even be 
a problem?  What sort of files are found under the lib and include 
directories that I need to be concerned about?

I have found that most all of the needed files for this installation were 
actually on the drive, but were not in the locations I expected them to be.
