Mysql 5

[apffal]

When starting new Mysql 5.0.15 in Mac Os Tiger, I receive the following message :
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
What's wrong ?

well, something seems to have gone wrong with your libraries.

try this in Terminal and see what turns up:
cd /usr/lib ; ls -l *curses*

on my systems I get the following:

[16:07:48@lib]$ cd /usr/lib ; ls -l *curses*
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel      20 Oct 18 15:36 libcurses.dylib -> libncurses.5.4.dylib
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  304580 Sep 27 13:45 libncurses.5.4.dylib
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  278948 Mar 21  2005 libncurses.5.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel      20 Oct 18 15:36 libncurses.dylib -> libncurses.5.4.dylib
[16:09:30@lib]$

I 've got this

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 4 Feb 2005 libcurses.dylib -> libncurses.5.dylib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 279000 28 Apr 2005 libncurses.5.dylib

I'm a bit lost as to !why! you don't have the same libraries as I do, but that's at least the origin of your problem.

Now, you are specifying that you are running Tiger, but
1) which version - eg 10.4.0, 10.4.1 or 10.4.2 ?
2) have you installed all of the security updates ?
3) how did you install updates for the above? did you use software update or the downloadable full installers ?
4) how did you upgrade from 10.3 Panther ?

One thing you can try to do is to download the 10.4.2 Combo Updater from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1042combo.html and re-apply this. Likewise with the security updates 2005-007 and 2005-008 from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ . At the very least it wont hurt, and the experience is that re-applying updates can resolve a lot of strange issues.

Did you install the binary version of MySQL or did you build it from source?

All fixed :
I´m using Mac Mini (10.3.9) - so, the correct version is mysql for 10.3, and not for 10.4.
Thanks, anyway
