Do you just run the install script (as root?)
You should be able to:
aptitude update aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client
Ubuntu (like Debian) supply packages to ease your installation woes.
Cheers, James.

I installed mysql and mysql-client using synaptic but I see I didn't install the documentation, which I have since done. However it seems to be an info version of what I read on the mysql website. This looks to be just what is needed for an expert, but leaves me uncertain as to what has already been done by synaptic and what I need to do to achieve what I want. For example the installation section of the info manual says: "The basic commands you must execute to install and use a MySQL binary distribution are: shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql shell> cd /usr/local shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf - shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql shell> cd mysql shell> scripts/mysql_install_db shell> chown -R root . shell> chown -R mysql data shell> chgrp -R mysql . shell> bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & or shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & if you are running MySQL 4.x You can add new users using the bin/mysql_setpermission script if you install the DBI and Msql-Mysql-modules Perl modules." I think synaptic has done most or all of that and I that should go on to post-installation setup and testing, but how do you tell? There is no sign of mysql on my user menu. Do I need to add rod to the mysql user group? Rod
