I installed the MySQL 4.0 on my Linxus machine (red hat 7.3). The installation
shows no problem, and I can see that the 'mysqld' server is actually runing
through a command like "./bin/mysqladmin version". However, it just does not
allow me to switch to the mysql client program from my login shell. Whenever I
try to do so, it also says that "bash: mysql: command not found".
I don't know how to deal with it. Could some MySQL experts please kindly help
me with this?
It's not a MySQL issue, it's a Linux issue. If your MySQL binaries are installed in a directory like /usr/local/mysql/bin/, they're not in one of the directories your shell (probably bash) looks in for commands. (To see which directories are being searched, type "echo $PATH" at the shell prompt.)
You'll need to edit the .bashrc file in your home directory to add the /usr/local/mysql/bin directory to the search path if you want to avoid typing the full path. Another alternative is to place links to the binaries in one of the directories already in the path, like /usr/bin/.
