I think the general procedure is the same, just a couple things you have to consider.
1. The mysql daemon will have to run under your user name. 2. You might not be able to use port 3306, you'll have to check with the sys admin for this. 3. You'll have to install it into your home directory ( check ./configure --help for more info on this ) Most source packages that you compile don't require you to be root to 'make' them, just when you do 'make install'. -- sh On Tue, 2002-04-23 at 14:02, Paul E Johnson wrote: > I have an account on our Dec Unix system and I can't find any directions > on how to make MySQL work without root privileges.
