I have forwarded it appropriately. I would recommend you use the ports collection to install MySQL and any other software that you need. In order to ensure that you have the most recent ports collection, you should learn to use cvsup. There is excellent information on this in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html I believe that versions 3.23, 4.0, 4.1, and even a version of 5 of MySQL exist in the ports collection. I have experience only with 4.1, so I can't attest to which you _should_ use, also I don't know what your intended use is, but 4.1 should be just fine. Once you have the ports collection up-to-date, you can install MySQL by doing: # cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server # make install clean HTH, -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
