in sysbench docs it says
./configure
make
make install

but when i run sysbench i get this error:
-bash: sysbench: command not found

Hi,

Did you do what was indicated in the documentation? Run the three commands one after another when there are no errors? If you ran them are you sure that one of them didn't exit with an error? Maybe it's just that the command hasn't been added to the path. Run:

Code:

which sysbench

or

Code:

whereis sysbench

to find out the location, then CD to that directory and try executing the command from there.

Kind regards,

Eric

that's right. I'd errors... for some reason the script searches for mysql files in /usr/lib64/mysql/ my located in /usr/lib64/
how can i change it?

Hi,

Either reinstall mysql or create symlinks to it in /usr/lib64. Looks to me that you'll have to redo the whole process. But first run a

Code:

make clean

Then take it one step at the time. Run

Code:

./configure

and take care of errors if any. After running the configure command without errors, then you run

Code:

make

and if that one runs without errors, then

Code:

make install

Kind regards,

Eric

thanks. I won't reinstall mysql just to install this software. symlinks didn't work, still the same error.

Hi,

When you say still the same error are you referring to the error you had before concerning MySQL? Or to the error you get trying to run the software?

Kind regards,

concerning MySQL while configuring

Hi,

Can you check if you have the possibility to point to another MySQL installation when running the configure command? Type one of the following to check:

Code:

./configure -h 
./configure --help

See if there's an option like:

Code:

--with-mysql-server

or something like that.

Maybe that'll work.

Kind regards,

Eric
