Did you run it from the directory from which you install mysql? EG: Installed mysql at /usr/local/mysql-max-4.0.18-sun-solaris-etc
cd /usr/local/mysql-max-4.0.18-sun-whatever-the-rest-is ./bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql a.. If you installed MySQL using a binary distribution, use this command: ./scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql RTFM Step 2 http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Unix_post-installation.html Hope this helps, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ravi T" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 4:50 PM Subject: Could some one help ! > Hi, > > I am trying to install MYSQL on a Sun Solaris box and here are the details and the error. > > Here is the version of MYSQL I am trying to install: > > mysql-max-4.0.17-unknown-freebsd5.1-sparc64 > > > #uname -a > > SunOS kittyhawk 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 > > # ./mysql_install_db --user=mysql > > ERROR = > > Didn't find ./bin/mysqld > You should do a 'make install' before executing this script > > I have looked and spent many hours trying to figure this out but having no luck what so ever. > > Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to start troubleshooting this effectively. > > Thanks. > > Ravi T. > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
