[Clfs-support] mysql install issue

[Koornstra, Reinoud]

Hi,

I tried to install mysql as described in the book.
Upon installing the tables I encountered an issue:

root:/usr/lib# /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Installing MySQL system tables...
090428 13:30:32 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated'
090428 13:30:32 [ERROR] Aborting

090428 13:30:32 [Warning] Forcing shutdown of 1 plugins
090428 13:30:32 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete

Installation of system tables failed!

I noticed that in /etc/my.cnf :
# Disable Federated by default
skip-federated

It seems to have a problem with that option eventhough the file came straight from:
/usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf

In the configure phase I added these options as possibilities suggested:

--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \
--with-ssl \
--with-fast-mutexes \

Any hints why skip-federated is unknown?
Thanks,

Reinoud.
