Hello, I am attempting a fresh install of MySQL 5.1.51 (from source) on my new Debian server. I have never attempted to run a MySQL server on linux before (only Windows Server), and am getting a strange error while running "/usr/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=mysql". It returns "/usr/libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'", of which I don't understand hence I never specified "--skip-bdb".
Also, while running "mysql_install_db", I get this: "Installation of system tables failed!", and then I am prompted to check the log file in /var/lib/mysql. The only problem is that the log files are empty, containing no data. Thank you for your help. And if you need any additional information, feel free to say so.
