Hi Trevor, I suggest you to compile and reinstall MySQL from the source distribution.
A suggested option is CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions \ -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler \ --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static For more information, please refer to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source.html If you are running a RH Linux try to modify the --prefix=/usr, so you can use the RH scripts, and don't forget to set up something like --datadir This is my configure options, hope it helps. --prefix=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --with-innodb --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile --enable-assembler --disable-shared --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --quiet Cheers, Leo Trevor wrote: >Hi All > >Was wondering if someone could shef a bit of light on whats happening, as i keep >loosing the connection to the mysql server, and i get the following error: >mysqld dead but subsys locked > >Thanks in advance > >Cheers > >Trevor > > > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
