Hmm, I do not think it will be possible for you to actually compile MySQL this way; for it will undoubtledly want to install libraries, etc, in /usr/local/lib/ and such. But you can always just download a precompiled package from the MySQL download site, untar it, and run the binary straight from your home dir. :) The server you are doing this on may already have a MySQL server running. So, you would have to use something different from port 3306, or /tmp/mysql.sock, or /var/db/mysql/. But all of that is configurable. - Mark -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
