Hello
I have debian and I already have installed a debian packaged mysql server. I want to install a second server, a compiled one (in order to test some things I changed in the source code). I follow the instructions at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/quick-install.htm .
PROCEDURE I FOLLOW UNTIL I FIND THE PROBLEM:
So I use the already existing mysql system user/group for the process. I then configure with
./configure --with-tcp-port=3307 --with-unix-socket-path=/home/vag/mysql/test/ --prefix=/home/vag/mysql/test/ --enable-assembler
I then do "make" and "make install".
At this point everything is ready inside /home/vag/mysql/test/
I copy the cnf file to /etc/ (however debian has a dir /etc/mysql with several files I don't know if this has something any relevence)
THE PROBLEM:
Then I try to install the grant tables and the problem begins!
$ ./bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/home/vag/mysql/test/
Installing MySQL system tables...
080306 16:54:06 [ERROR] Error message file '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' had only 475 error messages,
but it should contain at least 608 error messages.
Check that the above file is the right version for this program!
080306 16:54:06 [ERROR] /home/vag/mysql/test//libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'
080306 16:54:06 [ERROR] Aborting
I did a search here in the forums and I found this:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?133,174841,181015#msg-181015
However, I went to the mysql_install_db script and couldn't find any "bdb".
So, do you have any ideas generally or more specific on the mysql_install_db?
