error in running safe_mysqld

[maryam421]

Hi,
I am trying to install mysql 3.23 on redhat linux. When I ran mysql_install_db,it did create some tables but when it tried to give privilages it got the following error:

./scripts/mysql_install_db: ./bin/mysqld: /shlib/ld-bsdi.so: bad ELF interpreter : No such file or directory

After that what ever utility I run like mysqladmin or mysql I am getting the same error.

Please help.
Thanks

I've seen this error(?) once when trying to run a SCO app on RedHat, did you download the correct install for redhat ?

Your error would suggest that you have downloaded incorrectly, and the binaries are incompatible with Redhat.

maryam421: Do you really need v. 3.23? It's ancient history at this stage.

KarveR: That was your punishment for using SCO stuff!

Well I am trying to upgrade 3.2 to 4.0. I think I got the right binary. Do you know any place where I can download correct version of 3.2.
Thanks for all your help.

what version of redhat linux (7.3, 8, 9, ES, AS or fedora (which core), does it already have mysql installed and are you already using it, or would a fresh install be easier?

mysql.com 4.1 downloads (5 is very nice tho)

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html

rpmfind -

http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mysql&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=

make sure you know what architecture your hardware is as well.

have fun

I already have mysql 3.0 installed. I am trying to replicate the environment and then will try to upgrade it to 4.0.
