Hi everyone


I am trying to install Mysql on Linux( red hat). I downloaded Mysql source distribution , unzipped, run ./configure to set up some of the settings. Every thing upto this point seems OK but when I excute "make" and "make install" I am getting the following errors

../include/m_string.h:138 parser error before "__extension__"

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to solve this problem.

I unzipped the zipped file in a /tmp directory but I want the mysql database to reside in /usr/local/mysql directry. Do I have to unzip the file in the directory where I want the database to reside.

Thanks

install mysql using the binary rpm instead of the source code. i have installed the latest rpm on using red hat 6.2 and everything went very smoothly.

good luck,
