Ok, I've got gunzip and tar, and every time I try (multiple versions) of your source .tar.gz file, I get: (when running 'tar -zxf mysql-3.23.54a.tar.gz') gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
(when running 'gunzip mysql-3.23.54a.tar.gz') gunzip: mysql-3.23.54a.tar.gz: not in gzip format It seems NOTHING has worked for the last 2 days. I've tried the binaries, and then I dont have the "top-level installation directory" that all the docs refer to, and mysql isn't in /usr/local/. I really just want to be able to use MySQL.. -Tyler --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
