MySQL problems

[papabill]

I'm having MAJOR problems getting MySQL installed and running on my G4 Sawtooth machine. I'm running 10.4.11, and really could use some help. Where do I post this?

Thanks

Are you building from source, using the pre-compiled package from MySQL.com or using a third-party source? The latest MySQL releases are available as binary packages for x86 only but, if you can live with an older release, 5.1.40 is the latest binary PPC package available and you can get it from this link.
