Talk:MySQL/Install
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
I just spent literally a week trying to fix mySQL 5 under Gentoo i686. The fix was extremely hard to find, so I will share it here:
dev-db/mysql-5.0.56 does NOT run properly under i686 using the NetBurst Architecture (P4). This is because GCC emits 3DNow!-specific instruction for __builtin_prefetch, which does not run properly under NetBurst. Removing "-m3dnow" from the CFLAGS and recompiling does the trick.
The innodb USEflag has been removed from the dev-db/mysql ebuild. As of today,
[ebuild R ] dev-db/mysql-4.1.19 USE="berkdb perl ssl -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -latin1 -minimal -raid -srvdir -static" 0 kB
The text should be updated to reflect this, I feel.

Anyone update to reflect the fact that changing the use flags may effect perl and then new support for perl will need compiling (I.E user needs to emerge --new-use world) before continuing

"Unless you have a particular need for an older version of mysql such as 3.23.58-r1 or 4.0.25-r2..., you should include berkdb in your USE flags. As of 5.0.26-r2 'Berkeley DB support is deprecated and will be removed in future versions', so berkdb is probably not something you should run with for new installations."
Can someone please clarify? With new installs of the latest version, should or should not berkdb be added to the USE flags? The paragraph first says include, then says new installs should not run. N00b confusion ensues. --71.254.212.237 15:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
"You have to use the password you set for the root user when you ran emerge --config as above. " The "emerge --config" doesn't ask for a password. Just hitting Enter for a blank password doesn't work, and mysql isn't the password either. How do we get in to configure/set our password if the default password is set and not published? 75.171.182.190 19:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
