I am installing mysql-5.1.49-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz in Linux/Debian machine.I am following the steps from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing-binary.html

Problem is that the 1. when I run the command(for verifying package integrity) $md5sum mysql-5.1.49-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz The output does not matches the one displayed on the download page immediately below the respective package.

I ignored this one and untar the package. It's that there should be data sirectory in the installation directory but that is not available.So How can i proceed further?

I guess there's a reason why apt-get install mysql-server wasn't sufficient? – Bobby Aug 18 '10 at 14:46

If the md5 sums dont match the download is most likely defective or corrupted in some way.

I recommend to download the archive again and verify the checksum is correct.
