Oh, one additional comment for those who would like to compile MySQL source instead using prebuilt binaries... I had too many troubles compiling MySQL... this is the right way: do *NOT* use the environment vars that are required to compile (CXX, etc...) as shown in the mysql/INSTALL-SOURCE... in the MySQL site at the downloads section, at FreeBSD read the FreeBSD platform notes, it uses different configuration settings! if you don't take care of that will lose days dealing with the 'sizeof (char)' error and lots of 'sed' errors during the ./configure Regards, Mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PATH var and more...
Hello list Just reinstalled my freebsd, am advancing with installation of programs and configuration, but still have some details I can't fix... I've installed MySQL 4.0.20 successfully from source code and programs work fine, but have still two little problems... 1. Can't add /usr/local/mysql/bin to the PATH var from the main configuration... Tried to add: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin to /etc/profile, but didn't work. It only works if I send the command through the bash shell or in $HOME/.profile but /etc/profile does not work... why? don't want to append it to the .profile of each user!!! 2.
