Guys this is what I have done :-

tar zxvf mysql-3.22.32.tar.gz
cd mysql-3.22.32
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

Now the problem is when i type "make", I receive this

"make: *** No targets. Stop."


What should I do?

Thanks

Why not just go into your control panel, goto where you can install software, in the URL Box, put

http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.22.32-1.pkg

hit INSTALL and MYSQL will install..

Make sure you remove the MySQL files you tried to install before attempting to install the .pkg file! For additional directions, go here: http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/howto/casp_mysql_howto.html

ok I've installed mysql thru the install pkg method.

Question is how go i create user database?

Is there any article on the net regarding creating user database based on installation by "install .pkg method"?

Lastly how do I get to into my sql directory
(i.e /usr/local/mysql)

Thanks

Once you install the MySQL pkg file, it works like any other install of MySQL; you can access it via telnet. You might want to try out phpMyAdmin for working with MySQL: http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/

I thought it should be tar -zxvf ?

Guys , no need to configure or make mysql , just untar and install db and it's done.
