To whom it may concern, We are having some trouble installing a MySQL database onto one of our servers and would appreciate some assistance, details are below.
Installing MySQL v4.0.14 on a Solaris 8 (Sparc) system on a Netra X1. We have downloaded the source files from your website and have had a go at trying to install the software following the instructions on the user manual. We get to the point of configure and we get the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it! To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory. Installing all prepared tables 030818 10:39:06 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h stats1 password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running with the command: ./bin/mysqladmin version [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/clients/stats/mark/mysql-standard-4.0.14-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/data 030818 10:39:07 mysqld ended This seems to be all ok, but then I try to compile the program using the 'make' command and I get this message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Has this error ever happened before and how could we go further on this. A point to note would be that in the directory /usr/local/ there is no mysql directory created! Regards, Mark A. Cauchi
