If you're talking about the earlier message on this list, did you read the reply <http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/175003>?

It doesn't appear you've installed the official MySQL binary package, as it's not labeled "experimental". I'd suggest downloading an official binary from the MySQL downloads page <http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html>.

I just installed debian (test) and am trying to get mysql 4.1 working. The only deb package for 4.1 that I could find was "experimental", which might explain the problem I am having.

When I start the server, I get the following in my syslog:

Oct 31 01:35:22 cove1 mysqld_safe[2523]: started

I've googled for the mutex error and only find one hit with someone experiencing the same problem I am having and no solution.

Any ideas?  I'm new to debian, BTW.
