MySQL install woes

[frozenpeas]

I am running RH7 and am trying to install MySQL-3.22.32. I do ./configure and everything seems to go without a hitch.

When I try "make", I get this:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

and "make install" give me:

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

I'm a noob. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I had this Prob with MySQL 4.0.x

Believe it or not All I did was start the Mysql server by chaning to

/usr/local/mysql/bin

then running

./mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

that gave me a message about the server
then I did a mysql

>mysql <enter key>

and it work.

You may want to check your Doc for file location or do an updatedb then locate mysql to find your directories.

Hope this helps. I did find it odd though it acually installed completely after running tar. Dave

I can't start it, stop it, set the root password or anything.

I am having identical problems with installing PHP... all I am trying to do is './configure' then 'make' then 'make install'.
