Use the advice provided by others to see more output. However, I have a pretty good guess as to what the problem is (as this is common). MySQL is fussy in that it must be able to reliably determine its hostname before installing. If a reverse lookup on your IP address doesn't jive with the hostname you set for the computer, the install will bonk. The easiest way to get around this (that I know of) is to put your hostname in the /etc/hosts file in the appropriate place. -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
