Brian hello, Thank you a lot, this specific problem is solved.
I used 1)./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --without-server 2) make 3) make install 4) cd /usr/local/mysql/bin 5)./mysql -h 127.0.0.1 I tested mysql and it works. I still have some little problem with user access to mysql table that I'm trying to solve (I guess it's a cygwin problem): mysql> use mysql ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'%' to database 'mysql' Avi --- Brian Dessent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [ There is no need to email me directly.
