Hey Karen, Have you successfully run the mysql-config[1] script yet? And included the mysql41_flag parameter? That'd be the first thing I checked. If you don't get much help from this list, the Fedora users list[2], which has recently moved to Sourceforge, should definitely be able to get you up and running. Best of luck, -Mike 1. http://www.fedora.info/download/2.1.1/userdocs/server/cmd-line/index.html#mysqlconfig 2. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users On 3/6/07, Karen Coombs <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone had experience installing the digital library > software Fedora version 2.1 .
