after installing rpm or compiling the mysql_install_db script creates the *.frm, i think correctly. but the mysqld can't read them. the mysql support thinks this is an lib error...
Most likely it is a mysql error. We need waay more information about this proble before we can begin to look at it. ------- Additional Comments From 09/24/99 14:28 ------- The problem seems like the LFS problem we had in the ppc side, if mysql is compiled with LFS support it generates wrong *.frm files. I am not sure but i believe it affected all big endian platforms in any case MySQL has LFS disabled in the latest versions
