Mysql4.0 Installation problems on FreeBSD

[samy lancher]

Hello,

I have been running mysql3.23 on FreeBSD 4.5 server for a long time. I was having problems installing mod_php4 using portupgrade. So I decided to upgrade mysql3.23 to mysql4 using ports. I first did "make uninstall" in usr/ports/databases/mysql323-client and mysql323-server. I got message that the package was not installed completely. But when i gave "pkg_info | grep mysql" i got no results.

Than, from /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server i gave "make install" command. mysql-client installed properly but mysql-server did not. I got the following error:

shared library "mysqlclient.12" is not found.

Goolging for this error did not help me much.Having had no success in installation, I uninstalled mysql-client again and from /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server i gave "make reinstall". This has worsten the situation. The installation process was going on going on and going on.. and i had to give ctrl-C to stop it. I guess it went on to some kind of loop. I am now also worried if it has effected any of my system files.

I am totally lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Naveen.
