From: Isabelle Poueriet Date: March 19 1999 8:32pm Subject: Installing mysql in Linux List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/635 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi, I've been trying to install mysql in Linux. I am not using an rpm file. I do not have rpm installed. The problem I am having is when I run mysql_install_db.sh script. It tells me that it cannot find installation_directory/mysqld. And it recommends to do a "make install". I did a make install. But this tries to "mkdir /usr/local/include/mysql". I get an error because I do not have the permission to enter /usr/local. I'm not installing mysql in /usr/local/. I do not have the permission to do that. I modified the file Make file so that it does not try to to go to /usr/local. What other files/scripts may make be using that makes it go to /usr/local. Somebody please help. Thanks in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Isabelle Poueriet | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
