installing MySQL-Max-3.23.49-1.i386.rpm on Linux Red Hat 7.2 (server install
option) kernel 2.4
while logged in as root, from /usr/local/mysql on an old PC
Hi. I am brand new to Linux, and I can't get MySQL installed. The client
part goes fine, but when I do
rpm -ivh MySQL-Max-3.23.49-1.i386.rpm
I get this
Preparing... ############################# [100%]
1:MySQL-Max ############################# [100%]
Giving mysqld a couple of seconds to restart
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18185: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory
then if I do an rpm -qs on the same file, I get a message saying that
package is not installed.
Yet Gnome rpm gives me an option to uninstall it.
And if I try to install it again, (rpm -ivh again) I get a message that it
is already installed.
and neither I nor my machine can find scripts/mysql_install_db. So I guess
the install didn't get that far.
I keep wondering if I am missing some common utility because this is a fresh
Linux install, and I haven't added much. But how would that result in a
missing file?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Annie
