It is some time since i used AIX but maybe this help. So far i know has IBM moved to gnu-tools if not do it, it will ease the pain. I assume that you have gcc etc running. after downloading the latest version of mysql source. 1. unpack 2. ./configure if it complains try to fix it /* hope for the best */ 3. make if it complains try to fix it 4. make check /* i do not remember the exact target but this runs the test and should also be found with INSTALL */ 5. make install note that you still have to make sure that the db will start at boot
do not blame me if something fails, i have not used AIX since 4.1. re, wh Am 09.09.2011 17:22, schrieb Peter Gershkovich: > I noticed that there is no binary builds for AIX any more. > What would be the best way to install a current version of MySQL (5.5) on > AIX? > Specifically I am looking for instructions for AIX 6.1 and/or 7.1 > Thanks, > Peter > > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[email protected]
