From: Richard Runds Date: February 11 2000 3:37pm Subject: can't start mysqld at all List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/bugs/4 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Hello, My name is Richard and I'm a system administrator at Naturvetarsektionen, which is a student organisation at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. We are running RedHat 6.1 on a SPARCStation 5. The libraries we use is glibc-2.1.2-15, which is installed as a RPM-package, distributed toghether with RH6.1. The compiler is egcs-2.91.66, also distributed with RH 6.1. Due to the lack of a binary distribution for our system, I compiled the Source-RPM of MySQL, version 3.22.30-1. There is no way to install the grant tables. The output from the postinstallation-script (using rpm) is: + mysql_install_db -IN-RPM Creating db table Creating host table Creating user table Creating func table Creating tables_priv table Creating columns_priv table Installation of grant tables failed! I also tried to do this manually. The logs only say when the server started and ended, nothing else. When I start mysqld I got the message: Segmentation fault (core dumped) I also get this message if I run /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant & I don't know what to do. (???) When I run gdb with the coredump as input I get: Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/mysqld'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x0 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x0 in ?? () #1 0xaa450 in pthread_setcanceltype (type=-800481215, oldtype=0xd0264000) at cancel.c:40 Cannot access memory at address 0xd001a078. When I do run I get: (gdb) run --skip-grant Starting program: /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xaa464 in pthread_setcanceltype (type=1, oldtype=0xefffebb4) at cancel.c:42 42 cancel.c: No such file or directory.
