Question : MySQL installation on FreeBSD problem

Hi there, I've been trying to install MySQL5.1 on my FreeBSD 8-Release server.

I got the latest source from MySQL's website and downloaded+extracted it to "/usr/local/mysql". I ran "make -j2" which ran fine however when I try to execute "make install" I receive this error:

Can someone help me out with this?

Answer : MySQL installation on FreeBSD problem

maybe you can try this:
- put the source in another directory, say, /usr/src/mysql
- remove everything in /usr/local/mysql
- then run the installation again from /usr/src/mysql
