The new installtaion guide for the MySQL gamma doesn't work correctly. I get a folder /usr/local/mysql-test instead of /usr/local/mysql even when I declare the prefix to be /usr/local/mysql. I thought I might let you know. Keep up the wonderful work...
[1] Seth, it works just fine for me, properly installed in /usr/local/mysql, did you have any version of MySQL installed before? Binary form from your distro? If so, have you removed it first? What distro are you running?
[1] I have the same problem but i ran MySQL release 4.0.21
How can i see if i already had another realese installed? and if so how do i remove it/correxct it?
[3] execute this to see if package is installed: rpm -qa | grep mysql ... that will show you full name and version of package installed, next : execute: rpm -e full-package-name and finally, execute: rpm --rebuilddb ...
I have installed (by the guide above) MySQL and still get the same problem. If I install the 4.0.21 I don't (but 4.0.21 doesn't accept the charset declaration). The server was blank (accept for the standard install of gnome, editors, and development tools. BTW I am using Fedora Core 2). I don't know where to go from here. I guess I will just use 4.0.21.
How do I clear the information from the MySQL-gamma? I deleted the folder /usr/local/mysql-test/ (which was created from above) and then installed the 4.0.21 version and now that gives me the /usr/local/mysql-test folder. I tried all of this on a brand new (fresh) machine.
[7] try rpmi, or use Fedora graphical "RPM package tool / Program Installation Tool", called "YaST" under SUSE Linux, to remove any MYSQL, Apache, PHP you may have...
The problem is caused by an error in configure parameter for mysql. You must use --prefix=/usr/local/mysql and NOT --with-prefix=usr/local/mysql. (in 4.1.6gamma) the latter is ignored, and mysql is installed in /usr/local.
If you want to delete the wrong installation, you have to delete manually any mysql-related files into every folder in /usr/local.
(you can do a "good" installation and then see what files are created inside /usr/local/mysql, and then delete allo the file with the same name relative to /usr/local.
I got everything to work correctly except the libjpeg source package. It will not create the a|so. At least that is what the php build tells me. I just took it out. Is that important?
[12] guess you haven't compiled it correctly, doesn't really matter if you are not using scripts like Coppermine Photo Gallery, which require GD2 with JPEG support
When compiling mysql4.1 Gamma in Debian I always get this error, when running ./config What can I do about this?
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No curses/termcap library found
Okay I figured it out...
I went on IRC and some guy told me to install libncurses-dev with apt-get. This cleared up my problem on Debian, thanks! And do post this for all the Debian users who might be wondering about this, thanks!

i am using feodora core 2 to... i didnt find any with rpm -qa | grep mysql... can i just delete the folders and start all over?

[10] oh, you're right, my small typo. Fixed now. Thanks!!

[13] I did just as explained above...
[14] I double-tried to compile it again, with no problem.. Guess some distro, tool-related, problem.
I am still getting this error:
configure: error: libjpeg.(a|so) not found.
I don't know what to do.

Also when installing Apache2 on Debian I found that I need to apt-get install zlib1g-dev because they don't call the zlib package the same thing.
[16] just do one of the following commands, the error will be tripped.
#ln -s /usr/local/src/jpeg-6b/libjpeg.a /usr/lib/libjpeg.aor
#cp /usr/local/src/jpeg-6b/libjpeg.a /usr/librefer to:
/etc/ld.so.conf
