Submitted:	8 Dec 2005 16:02	Modified:	12 Dec 2005 9:54
Reporter:	Marcus Madsen	Email Updates:
Status:	Not a Bug	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.16	OS:	Solaris (Solaris 10 (64 bit))
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Compiled source on Solaris 10 (64 bit) and there is no scripts directory or mysql_install_db file for setting up MySql base tables.

How to repeat:
Compiler source and install

Thank you for a problem report. Sorry, but I was not able to repeat the problem you described (there is no scripts subdirectory in the installation directory, indeed, but it is not needed). I perfromed the following actions:

gunzip < mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd mysql-5.0.16
PATH=/export/home/mysqldev/sol10-sparc-a-64bit/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
./configure --prefix=/users/vkravchuk/dbs/5.0-sol10s
make
make install
cd
cd dbs/5.0-sol10s/

and in that directory (used in --prefix option):

-bash-3.00$ ls -F
bin/         info/        libexec/     mysql-test/  sql-bench/
include/     lib/         man/         share/

mysql_install_db is in the bin subdirectory, as described in the manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/quick-install.html). As well as any sripts needed. 

So, I believe, it is not a bug, just some misunderstanding.
