Well, I got around the problem by replacing the old mysql/english directory with a new one from the tarball. I hope that was an o.k. thing to do. At 04:35 PM 12/5/2001 -0600, you wrote:

Using mysql-3.23.33-4 on SuSE Linux 7.1: root@fluorite:/usr/sbin > uname -a Linux fluorite 2.4.0-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Wed Jan 24 15:52:30 GMT 2001 i686 unknown

We've been using MySQL for a while and we're trying to test InnoDB. According the InnoDB page all we need to do is untar the package and overwrite /usr/sbin/mysqld.

I also found I have to create to following directory/symlink:

root@fluorite:/usr/bin > ls -l /usr/local/mysql/share/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 5 16:05 mysql -> /usr/share/mysql/

becauwe without that the new mysqld (mysqld-max) couldn't find /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys.

Now that I have that all set up, I'm getting the following errors:

root@fluorite:/usr/bin > /usr/sbin/mysqld

/usr/sbin/mysqld: Fatal error: Error message file '/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' had only 203 error messages, but it should have at least 218 error messages. Check that the above file is the right version for this program!

I don't think it's a version problem because the RPM was mysql-3.23.33-4 and the tarball is mysql-max-3.23.46-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz.

Can anyone give me some tips on what's wrong? Is there's something wrong with the SuSE version of mysql-3.23.33-4 that's incompatible with mysql-max-3.23.46-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz ?

TIA
