Redhat 6.1 is not supported platform by Infobright.
See
http://www.infobright.org/Forums/viewthread/2609/
Actually I figured out the problem on Redhat 6.1 enterprise (libc 2.12).
Centos 6 possibly has a higher libc(2.12) which does not match with libc(2.9) on which infobright was built.
Which results failure of user/permission etc.
Only way (If you did not loose patience) is compile infobright ice code on your machine and the get binaries from that.
There is a readme in the source tarball.
Have installed from source (boost and ice) and got with no problems as far as this stage
bin/mysql_install_db—defaults-file=/etc/my-ib.cnf—user=mysql
The error I now cant get round is this
Installing MySQL system tables…
/usr/local/infobright/libexec/mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.42.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have checked and this file definitely exists - I have tried copying it to /usr/lib but this has no effect
Again I would appreciate any assistance
Hi again
Just to update, I have now managed to complete the install and start it up.
Just in case anyone else runs into the above issue, I resolved it by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Thanks for all your help
