Hello,
I have had problems building MySQL from sources. The gcc compiler
never comes back from compiling sql_yacc.cc. So, after reading the
list and seeing several suggestions that the binary be installed
to solve such problems I tried that and am still having problems.
This is a 64 mbyte Multia (Alpha) with Red Hat 6.1 freshly installed.
Here are the results of the rpm install:
%rpm -i MySQL-3.22.32-1.alpha.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!
Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld demon with:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db',
and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Here is the only non-zero length file in the log area. And, yes,
I just noticed the clock is wrong.
%cat /var/lib/mysql/lark.err

Here is an attempt to look at the grant tables.
%/usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql

And here is the debug stuff that came up in emacs. Unfortunately
I cannot directly email from this system to the net.
