Hi Bob, Just for the record, since you didn't elaborate: - - what version of MySQL? - - what is the full name of the installation package file? - - where did you get it from? (SuSE/mirror via ftp? SuSE CD/DVD?) - - how did you install it? (rpm -???? or YaST Install & Remove Software?) - - was there any feedback from the system when you installed it? If so, what was that feedback? - - do you see anything in /var/log/messages worth mentioning? Sorry to be a PITA stickler for detail :-) but knowing all this stuff might narrow the field of possibilities a bit. thanks, - - Carl - -- ____________________________________________________________________ C.
