From cmake/install_layout.cmake: SET(INSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR_RPM "share/mysql-test")

Please, check if the same problem happens with a newer version, 5.5.12.

Tested with 5.5.12 on RHEL6. It's also in 5.6.3-m5 from launchpad (verified by code review). http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-trunk/view/head:/scripts/mysql_insta... ---------------------------------------------------------- # mysql_install_db --user=mysql Installing MySQL system tables... OK Filling help tables... OK To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h dveeden-rhel6 password 'new-password' Alternatively you can run: /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation which will also give you the option of removing the test databases and anonymous user created by default. This is strongly recommended for production servers. See the manual for more instructions. You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl cd /usr/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! # cd /usr/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl -bash: cd: /usr/mysql-test: No such file or directory Can't open perl script "mysql-test-run.pl": No such file or directory # rpm -ql MySQL-test | egrep 'mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl$' /usr/share/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl # mysqld --version mysqld Ver 5.5.12 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server (GPL)) # lsb_release -d Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0 (Santiago) ----------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the bug report and patch contributed. Verified with current mysql-5.5 from bzr by code review.

This still exists and the OS should be expanded as I am experiencing it during a recent Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) install of 5.6.10 installed via Homebrew. The instructions assume you are in /mysql, which would seem to me to be somewhat unusual, especially during setup. With homebrew the correct instruction should be: cd /usr/local/opt/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Posted by developer: This is indeed a real bug, but with the time that has passed, the impact is much diminished: Our new style RPMs and Debs on Linux do not use mysql_install_db for any supported MySQL version, MySQL 5.7 and newer do not use mysql_install_db on any platform, and the main delivery vehicle for MySQL on Windows is the new MySQL Installer for Windows, which does not employ mysql_install_db for any version of MySQL. Weighing that against the risk and effort of fixing this properly, I am closing this as Not feasible to fix.
