I see from the file name that you are trying to install the rpms from www.mysql.com. For 4.0 I recommend the rpms that come with Suse 9. I also got signal 11 and segmentation fault trying to install their MySQL 4.1.1 rpms. The resolution was to install x64_64 binaries from www.mysql.com and shared libraries from the Suse 4.0 package. Seems to work all right. Sampsa Travis Reeder wrote:

I know this isn't the best list for this, but I didn't get an answer on the mysql list so maybe one of you could help...

I have a brand new fresh install of SUSE 9, 64 bit and am trying to install mysql 64 bit, but I get the following output: I've bolded the important lines (or at least what i think is important "mysqld got signal 11;". Has anybody experienced this or know how to solve this? linux:~ # rpm -i --force MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.x86_64.rpm warning: MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 Giving mysqld a couple of seconds to exit nicely Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables *mysqld got signal 11;* This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388600 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=0 max_connections=100 threads_connected=0 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225791 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Installation of grant tables failed!

Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
