Hello Everyone

mysql database wsa inistalled with the operating system and everything went through with no errors. When I try to start mysql it fails with this error.

050907 09:49:50 mysqld started
050907 9:49:50 [ERROR] Character set information not found in '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys'. Please install the latest version of this file.
050907 9:49:50 [ERROR] Aborting

050907 09:49:50 mysqld ended

I can't seen to figure out what this is telling me I looked at a mysql errmsg.txt file on a different machine that mysql is working on and I don't see any references to Character Sets in that file. I ran the command comp_err which according to the mysql docs says it updates the errmsg.sys file from the errmsg.txt file but still mysql will not start. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? Thanks for any help I get.

Randy
