Didn't find /home/mysql/libexec/mysqld

[Snowey]

I followed the installation instructions from

http://www.thegetawaycar.com/Apache-MySQL-PHP4.txt

At step 8 when I do : [root mysql-3.23.52]# ./scripts/mysql_install_db

I get:

./scripts/mysql_install_db: my_print_defaults: command not found
Didn't find /home/mysql/libexec/mysqld
You should do a 'make install' before executing this script

I already did make install (took an 1/2 hour to compile)

When I look in /home/mysql/libexec all I got is :

[root mysql-3.23.52]# cd /home/mysql/libexec
[root libexec]# ls -l
total 4580
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4669550 Aug 22 11:06 mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-mysqld

Any ideas ?

What flavour of linux are you using? ______________________________________________________________________

I'm running Red Hat 5.1 hybrid which is on a Cobalt raq2 server. I don't think I have the newer versions of automake and autoconf; think that is a problem ?
Thanks

Fuq the Cobalt raq2; I installed MySQL on a new RedHat 7.3 box as directed here:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/configure_options.html

Then installed the new apache rpms and php as directed here:

Hope this helps others who don't have a clue

rename mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-mysqld to mysqld and see what gives. ______________________________________________________________________
