Mysql from ports

[Ron Clark]

   OK, I rebuilt the box again and cvsuped my ports and got the machi   back to 5.5 STABLE. When I tried to install mysql server 5.1, I get
   the 

   ===>   Running ldconfig
   /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql
   ===>   Ins   cannot create /usr/local/libdata/l   directory
   *** Error code 2
   S   *** Error code 1
   Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server.

   Is there any reason wh   am installing this as root. <
   This is a clean system, freshly installed. The only other packages /    ports installed are the cvsup-without-gui and bash2.

   Please help. I 
   Ron

 I have MySQL-5 installed. It worked without incident. Might I
   suggest
      
   
 If you have portsclean installed, part of the portupgrade package,
   
 please read the manual for it and run it.
   
   
 "portsclean -CLP" should do the trick. Then update your ports tre   e. I
   
 would recommend 'portsnap' but that decision is up to you.
   
   
 Then navigate to databases/mysql51-server
   
   
 I would recommend that you delete that directory you created
   manually.
   
 It probably has the wrong permissions, etc. and will cause a build
   
 problem.
   
   
 Do the regular "make install && make clean" and you shoul   good to go.
   
   
 Place: mysql_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file and then eit   her
   
 reboot or run the rc.d file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
   start and
   
 it will create the directories it requires. You still have to
   create a
   
 use though.
   
   
 Ciao!
