Description:
Hi,

I am not able to run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql on Linux 32-bit machine..I am getting the following error

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
configure: unknown option --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

If the exact URL was this:

http://mysql.mirrors.pair.com/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.87-linux-i686.tar.gz

then it is NOT a source tar.gz, but a package of binaries for "generic" Linux I'd say. Please, check with:

http://mysql.mirrors.pair.com/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.88.tar.gz

or

http://mysql.mirrors.pair.com/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.87.tar.gz
