[UCLA-LUG] mySQL on MIPS

[Claude Ciocan]

So i made the mistake of buying a prebuilt webserver from Cobalt, the Raq2 
to precise, unware that they would not support setup/installation of any 
other software other than their preinstalled ones. So i'm trying to install 
mySQL on this machine that has a MIPS processor. I go to the cobalt site 
and find the packages for mySQL that are compiled for the MIPS. I install 
the packages and then try to run the mysql_install_db and this is what 
comes up:

Creating db table
Creating host table
Creating user table
Creating func table
Creating tables_priv table
Creating columns_priv table
Installation of grant tables failed!

then if i try running mysql it gives me a segmentation fault


Help i really need to get mysql running on this server...
