FYI this is also reported to RedHat as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101695 But they've marked this as CLOSED, DEFERRED. Looks like they're ignoring this issue ... I suspect this is an important platform for MySQL. Also, someone sent me an email saying they've had similiar problems with Red Hat (severn) 9.0.93. I'm adding RedHat's last comment. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see that they point the finger at the perl libraries or other client libraries. Perhaps the MySQL rpm's need to have their dependencies tightened? ------- Additional Comment #3 From Patrick Macdonald on 2003-08-12 16:14 ------- Ok... downloaded the MySQL packages from mysql.com. Made sure I had the correct perl-DBD, perl-DBI and perl-CGI packages installed. Since the perl packages are linked against mysql-3.23 (which has mysqlclient.so.10), I created a mysqlclient10 package to install this file. The mysqlclient in the 4.0.14 package is mysqlclient.so.12. Here's the output of my install... --- begin install [root@toledo patrickm]# rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm MySQL-client-4.0 .14-0.i386.rpm warning: MySQL-server-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f 5 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:MySQL-client ########################################### [ 50%] 2:MySQL-server ########################################### [100%] Installing all prepared tables 030812 15:47:35 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h toledo password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql ---- end of install So the problem could be that your system does not have the required perl packages installed or that the MySQL access methods in the Taroon beta are linked against mysqlclient.10 not 12 (which is provided in the MySQL.com packages) which is causing the MySQL.com supplied packages to fail on install.

LenZ: Please read the last comments about Perl's dependencies. It isn't Jani's issue !

Actually, there are two issues here. One is the conflicting libraries issue, which can be resolved by installing the MySQL-shared-compat RPM, as documented in the manual. The second issue is the segfault inside of /usr/bin/mysql_install_db which is not related to the client libraries at all. We have received several reports from users having trouble with our (statically linked) binaries on newer Red Hat releases (e.g. RedHat AS 3.0 beta). I just find it interesting that Red Hat was not able to reproduce this crash. We will investigate this, as soon as we have an installation of RH AS beta installed somewhere.

As an update to this, the crash does not happen anymore with the final version of Red Hat AS 3.0 - therefore I close this bug now.
Description: When installing the rpms (or the tar file) onto Red Hat Advance Server Beta 1 (Taroon), we get the follwing error: Installing all prepared tables /usr/bin/mysql_install_db: line 1: 7690 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/mysqld --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --skip-innodb --skip-bdb Installation of grant tables failed The log file simply shows a start and a stop of the server.
