I've installed netbsd on this extreemly slow sparc (its alot faster than
when i used solaris on it ;-D) Since i didnt feel like reading all about
netbsd i sort of just "went to it" and installed all the stuff i wanted in
/usr/local/, when i came to  mysql it didnt compile so i went on a search...
found out about pkgsrc and did "sup -s", uninstalled all i made in
/usr/local and reinstalled from the pkg system. mysql-client went just fine,
mysql-server gave me the same error again (se below). This could be coz
mysql wont live on netbsd-sparc, but i dont think this is the problem, more
like i'm doing something wrong.
Actually i dont care about mysql, i just like to have a php3 compatible sql
so postgresql will do but when i try to install postgresql it needs X and i
dont feel like having X on this box. Any ideas? should i compile X and
postgresql or is there a mysql solution?
