> SE> ./configure --prefix=/ussr/loca/mysql ^^^^ Typo I used /usr/local/mysql
To make a long stroty short , I downloaded the source rpm and started over , now I have the mysql.sock file. Looks like the download was currupt. I nned to use the sourceeeeee as I am compliling some other stuff as well. Ist want to get a good compile first. 2ndly, The docs I am using use the following sysntex , ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --localstatedir=/usr/loca/mysql/data \ ----withunix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.sock Note the back slash at the end. Whats the back slash for ? I used ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/loca/mysql/data --with-unix-socket=tmp/mysql.sock All on one line. Also how do you set the linux box (suse 7.2) to start mysql on boot up ? > SE> --localstatedir=/usr/loca/mysql/data > SE> --withunix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.sock > SE> make > SE> make install > > Since ~1991, Soviet Union is not the best place to > install MySQL. :) > > Seriously saying, you should better take the binary > distribution from > MySQL site and install it.
