Mysql and Slackware9.0

[blizeach]

The problem is that when I installed Slackware I told it to install
MySQL. I thought it did so. I looked around and found in the
directory /etc/rc.d/ a file called rc.mysqld.new wich I read.
It said to make this file executable so that it would start the
daemon at system boot. I made it executable. Needless to say it didn't
work.
So I read a little further. The same files says
to build the grant tables by switching to the mysql
user with the su command and running
mysql_install_db.

This gives me this error:
/usr/libexec/mysqld: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/libexec/mysqld)
Installation of grant tables failed!

That is when I figured I'd just try to reinstall for the heck of
it and of course now using the rpm --install command with the
MySQL rpm I'm getting the same problem Mr. Thorne is getting.

bash-2.05b# rpm --install MySQL-server-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
fileutils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
sh-utils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
/usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
I have posted to multiple news groups and forums. Will someone please
help out the Noobs?

For future reference see my response to your earlier post. Now as a prequel
to that response, I offer the following opinions (FWTW):

Maybe use a "friendlier distro". I really enjoy Slack, and have used it in
several production environments, but from the tone of your post, it sounds
like you're struggling. I suggest Suse or Libranet.

But if you are going to ride it out, I would blow out the rpm mysql install
completely. Get your shell and Perl working properly (see below). Then I
would "wget/download" the precompiled binaries from www.mysql.com . Create a
/usr/local/mysql directory. Then follow the directions on the myql website.
The directions as they relate to installing the binaries, are excellent and
will yield a rock solid mysql install.

If they are not there already, you should install the bash shell and Perl

I stuck it out. I dont give up. I really like slack so far. My
problem was I was lazzy and didnt read everything I should have because
I was in a hurry. Plus I had a crappy install. I told it to install
everything during setup but It must have messed up somewhere else
gcc and perl would have been working. So to make a long story short
I reinstalled slack heheh and got it running. Now if I could just get
it to run during bootup that would rock.
Thanks for your help.
