@John, solved it: please read http://diymacserver.com/2010/03/04/possible-version-problem-with-mysqld/ for the solution and explanation.

@John, I’ve been told by someone else the same thing yesterday. I’m currently investigating the issue. It looks like mysqld isn’t properly copied into the bin dir…

Richard, I’ve installed 5.1.40 as a package following your instructions, all works a charm. However when I compile 5.1.43 from source all seems to go smoothly but when I start mysql from the command line it still states that it is version 5.1.40. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? Thanks for the great website.

@Dante, yes it does. If you are using for small scale database it will work perfectly.

Will this work for 10.5 via PPC install? I have a iMac G5, an eMac(G4) 1.0 Ghz, and a PowerMac G4 867mhz I plan to use with Leopard for a DIY server. I can’t afford anything new right now.

@Rodrigo, I think you’ve got the wrong download file, if you go to the mysql download page it is the one almost at the bottom of the page called mysql-5.1.40.tar.gz

Richard,

following this tutorial I am using the Mac Os x 10.5 32 bit, Intel Based. The syntax in this page starts with ./Configure

but for an intel based Mac the source tar file doesn’t have a ./Configure file. It does have an Install-binary file. What syntax could be used on Intel based macs to create the shared libraries created above for the powerpc macs??

Thank you in advanced

Chuck, XCode is also available on you installation DVD, so there is no real need to get the +/- 1 Gb download from the apple site.

If you get this error of no compilers found. Go to connect.apple.com and login via your itunes account or create your adc account. Then go to developer tools and find Xcode 3 and download and install it. It contains gcc for compiling your mysql source code.

Please note that Richard isn’t using mysql-5.1.xx-osx10.5-powerpc.tar.gz for recompilation. He’s using mysql-5.1.37.tar.gz, which is in the Source download section at the bottom of MySQL’s download page (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html)
