Hi, I could not repeat this problem. We also have not had any other reports about this problem. Making install in tools /bin/bash ../mkinstalldirs /export/home/mysqldev/mlord/mysql/bin /bin/bash ../libtool --preserve-dup-deps --mode=install /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c mysqlmanager / export/home/mysqldev/mlord/mysql/bin/mysqlmanager /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c mysqlmanager /export/home/mysqldev/mlord/mysql/bin/mysqlmanager mysqldev@sunfire100b:~/mlord/mysql-4.0.20> uname -a SunOS sunfire100b 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2 Please see how we build the binaries for your platform here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_binaries.html Best Regards

From looking at the output you pasted into the bug report, the reason you can't replicate the problem is because you aren't using install-sh, you are using ginstall: /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c ... As I indicated in the bug report, ginstall works fine, it's the install-sh script which is included in the mysql distribution that doesn't work: To replicate, $ cd /mysql/build/dir $ export INSTALL=/mysql/build/dir/install-sh $ ./configure ... $ make install

Where did you see instructions to use install-sh? install-sh is taken straight from X11R6 and really only meant for systems that don't have "install" and solaris is not one of them. You should have "install" on your machine and if not you can get it for solaris. You should always be instructed to use make install (INSTALL-SRC for example) which will look for install, ginstall etc.. Please let me know where you were instructed to use install-sh on solaris so that we can correct the documentation. Best Regards

/usr/sbin/install on Solaris isn't compatible with ginstall, so it doesn't work: /bin/bash ../mkinstalldirs /opt/mysql/include/mysql /usr/sbin/install -m 644 my_dbug.h /opt/mysql/include/mysql/my_dbug.h find: stat() error /opt/mysql/include/mysql/my_dbug.h: No such file or directoryinstall: my_dbug.h was not found anywhere! Lots of GNU packages include install-sh as an alternative to the platform's install utility, but unfortunately it won't sucessfully install MySQL, at least not on Solaris, as I originally reported.

Dear Alan, Thank you for your bug report! make install does in fact look for install-sh as well and uses it if need be. I was able to repeat the problem as you specified: $ cd /mysql/build/dir $ export INSTALL=/mysql/build/dir/install-sh $ ./configure ... $ make install Best Regards
