Hello all, Dagobert has pointed out that the MySQL packages don't work on Solaris 11/sparc, failing with this error:
This seems t151104 9:56:09 [Note] /opt/csw/libexec/mysqld (mysqld 5.5.46) starting as process 19236 ... 151104 9:56:09 [ERROR] Initialization of transaction delegates failed. Please report a bug. 151104 9:56:09 [ERROR] Aborting o be a known bug about which Oracle does not give much of a shit, since they provide a magical «fix», but no solution. https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/dimstat/596RKYcVPIQ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dimstat/GiewfGElRZk The workaround is to use the MySQL 5.6 package in 64 mode. Edit or create /etc/opt/csw/csw.conf after installing it, and add this line: mysql56_arch=sparcv9 I'll make it use 64 bit as default instead of the historical 32 in a respin. MySQL 5.5 32 bit, MySQL 5.5 64 bit, MySQL 5.6 32 bit, all have the same issue on Solaris 11/sparc exclusively. I will not investigate further. If somebody wants to, you're welcome to it. Regards, Laurent
