Description:
I'm using MySQL 4.0.20 Linux 8 Source Distribution. It is being installed on this system for the first time : The postinstall (bin/mysql_install_db) procedure doesn't complete due to the following error:
[root@tirgdel38 mysql]# bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Preparing db table
Preparing host table
Preparing user table
Preparing func table
Preparing tables_priv table
Preparing columns_priv table
Installing all prepared tables
mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.
key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=0
max_connections=100
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 80383 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xbf5fea88, backtrace may not be correct.
Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows:

bin/mysql_install_db: line 1: 1960 Segmentation fault /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/var --skip-innodb --skip-bdb
Installation of grant tables failed!
Examine the logs in /usr/local/mysql/var for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/local/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 /usr/local/mysql/var that may be helpful.
