Question

-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory - MySQL install on Mac OS X 10.6

Answer 1

A:

Presumably, you verified the file is there, right? You might have to set the execute bit:

chmod 755 configure

wallyk 2009-12-15 21:01:13

you'd actually get "permission denied" if you tried to execute that. He's probably just in the wrong directory, or perhaps needs to run autoreconf.

@wallyk, yes I just verified the file with md5 and it matches...

John 2009-12-21 20:05:58

@John: It matches what? My point is that ./configure won't work unless the file has execute permission. That what chmod 755 sets, along with read permission for everyone and write permission for the owner.

Thanks Wallyk, I installed via Macports in the end, but my problem was that the file wasn't there, so I couldn't have set the permissions anyhow.

Answer 2

A:

The file should be there. It's in the archived version I just downloaded. You might want to grab another copy and try again.

grep gives the only file with configure in the name within that folder as: .//support-files/binary-configure

John 2009-12-15 22:06:57

What's the output of: find /YourUnpackedMySQLDir -name 'configure'

Pestilence 2009-12-16 19:18:46

@Pestilence the output is nothing from that command. I tried another 2 tar files, but they also do not have the .configure file in them.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Don't forget to

cd mysql-5.1.37

Answer 4

+1 A:

Did you actually cd mysql-5.1.37 before trying to run ./configure?

Answer 5

+2 A:

You've downloaded the binary version, not the source.

This is the reason that you're getting the config error. Go here:

for the correct mysql version to compile from source.
