All,

I have MySQL installed and working perfectly on my SuSE 7.2 system. Now, I would like to build a new version of MySQL and run two database servers on the same physical machine.

If I do the standard (make && make install, etc), will it make changes to the current installation? If yes, what can I do to make them co-exist separately??

Hi, Just download latest mysql source (e.g. 3.23.49), put them into /usr/src/pacgakes/sources, edit SuSE-MySQL-RPM SPEC file, copy patch(es) from SuSE original MySQL source RPM, build your own RPM, and finally upgrade. I did it myself, worked OK. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
