Comments on: MySQL 5.1.x works as binary install but poses new challenge http://diymacserver.com/2009/04/26/mysql-51x-works-as-binary-install-but-poses-new-challenge/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:40:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Richard http://diymacserver.com/2009/04/26/mysql-51x-works-as-binary-install-but-poses-new-challenge/comment-page-1/#comment-3922 Richard Fri, 08 May 2009 15:36:45 +0000 http://diymacserver.com/?p=525#comment-3922 Luc, You can keep 5.1 installed, compile the latest 5.1.x version with this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-server-suffix=-standard \ --enable-thread-safe-client \ --enable-local-infile \ --enable-shared \ --with-zlib-dir=bundled \ --with-big-tables \ --with-readline \ --with-plugins=all \ --without-docs And everything will be allright. Still need to properly document this, but it has been tested. Luc, You can keep 5.1 installed, compile the latest 5.1.x version with this:

It's not difficult and you wouldn't need to change the instructions. I think it’s better to keep compiling MySQL. It’s not difficult and you wouldn’t need to change the instructions.

But I saw that might give some issues to file locations. Now I want to revert back, any clue on how to remove this version of Mysql of my system? After that I'll install package of 5.0.81 and recompile source of the same version so I can use your instructions accordingly Thanks for a reply Hi Richard,

We can't rely on getting a binary for every release or security update. We should wait and see what Oracle is going to do with MySQL. I think it is a good idea to keep compiling MySQL for now.

Most people just want the MAMP stack so I need to add postgesql as an additional option. Also I'm not sure all components in the mailserver support this. But my hand might be forced to do this as Oracle now owns MySQL the future is uncertain. @Drew, that would be a very simple solution, but would that survive a binary install?
