MySql Configuring And Installing On linu

[Anon]

Hello
I've come across a problem installing and configuring mysql on linux os .I have used
Latest stable release of mysql(3.23.47 binary).After running ./configure command
I couldn't find make or make install command
hence could not configure the data base
I've used tar xvf Mysql-version -C /directory
command .
Could Any one guide me in configuring this
or tell me a propper I have tried this link.http://www.mysql.com but less helpful

Thanks

"I couldn't find make or make install command"

"couldn't find" means that you searched for 'make' but it was not on your system?

Yes, You are correct once you installed/extracted or decompressed mysql on to a perticular directory i.e /usr/local/mysql on that directory I had to run ./configure then should execute make or make install file for compilation and instalation of mysql on command line
But instead gives an out put as 'make' is as an unreconized command on linux platfaorm.

Thanks

Then you should visit a site like www.rpmfind.net, and download an RPM of the 'make' program and install it. :-)
