I have trying to install MySQL 4.0.18 on to my FreeBSD 4.9 server. I have run the ./configure command and it stopped after trying to chown on the mysql file.
chown: mysql: illegal use
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/home/abean/downloads/mysql-max-4.0.18-unknown-freebsd4.7
040226 09:40:50 mysqld ended
Also, I have tried to do a make install to complete the installation, but it tells me that it doesn't know how to make install and stops.
Not knowing what else to try, I simply ran mysql to see if I could get into the DB. No luck, obviously, all I get is the follwing error:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Can anyone help me get this thing installed correctly and ready to use?
