Description:
Dear MYSQL,

I've got a problem at installing mysql ver 4.1.

The configure option is below.
./configure  --prefix=/YesVeryHome/system/mysql  --with-charset=euckr

And everything's OK before running mysql_install_db.

I've got the error message (listed below) at running it.

I guess that the charset (EUC_KR) dosen't match between compilation and running mysqld.

How to fix it.

Please reply to me~~~~ please!!

ERROR MESSAGE

Examine the logs in /YesVeryHome/system/mysql/var for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/YesVeryHome/system/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/YesVeryHome/system/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:

shell> /YesVeryHome/system/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /YesVeryHome/system/mysql/var that may be helpful.

How to repeat:
Sorry! I don't know what you mean "How to repeat".

I think you're upgrading from 4.0 and you have "default-chatacter-set=euc_kr"
somewhere in my.cnf: /etc/my.cnf, /YesVeryHome/system/mysql/var/my.cnf or
$HOME/.my.cnf. Please change euc_kr to euckr, and try again. Please give
feedback!

Looks like not a bug. CLosed as there is not feedback.
