try make install or, otherwise run RPM file (if there's any). Do you have GUI? if yes, and there's an RPM file, just double-click on it... im actually running out of ideas, but you'd better check out mysql users' forum and see about your problem.. in my case, i can install mysql server in FreeBSD very easily (from ports)...

yes, is the same i said before. i can't understand why, when i launch the configure, i obtain this:

[root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]# ./configure NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it!

To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.

Installing all prepared tables Fill help tables

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h serverlinux password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command!

You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests

Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running with the command: ./bin/mysqladmin version [root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23/data

and it stopping in this way...no command line...

after, if i try to do make:

[root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]#
